Document Summary
There was no indicators of growth pattern with the e. coli, yet we could see that the e. coli was growing around the petri dish with a yellowish color. There was also bacteria in one dish: the ampicillin resistant e. coli did not have yellow color. There was also a yellow shade here showing that there was growth: the pseudomonas had no antibiotic resistance because the bacteria was very yellow. The aec had a zone of inhibition length of 14mm that prevented bacterial growth. The pseudomonas dish had antibiotics that were influenced by the coconut water: we found that it was challenging to both differentiate between the dishes and identify the zones of inhibition. Because there were so few zones and the zones were so obscure, measurements could not be made. Because of these challe(cid:374)ges, we could(cid:374)"t (cid:373)ake a decent evaluation of the results: conclusively, the results that we could record showed that antibiotics are effective in preventing the growth of bacteria.
