Students:

Institution:

Mentors:

Abstract:

Various foods that we consume have high chances of being contaminated with lot of different bacteria, some of them could be resistant to commonly used antibiotics. Antibiotic resistance is a great concern. We wish to study bacteria from our regular foods and test their sensitivity to various antibiotics.
