antibiotics on bacteria count

Introduction:
Since the
middle of this century, antibiotics have been used very
successfully to fight against infections. The first of
them was penicillin, discovered by Alexander Fleming in
1928. This antibiotic is produced by the fungus
Penicillium notatum. The role of an antibacterial
therapy is to support the functions of the body's immune
system by killing the bacterial pathogens (bactericidal
effect), or at least preventing the pathogen
multiplication (bacteriostatic effect). |

Project
description:
In this project you will study the effect of antibiotics on
bacteria count. You will need to repeat a bacteria growth
experiment without and with different amounts of antibiotics. |
