Can bacteria develop resistance to antibacterial ointments?

Started June 26, 2023

Abstract or project description

Loveleen is conducting an experiment on household antibiotics and environmental bacteria. By growing bacteria on agar plates with antibiotic ointments applied (in dilution series), we hope to find out whether antibiotic resistance develops. Additional background research includes the history of antibiotic development, resistance, and the potential for superbugs.
