BACTERIA AND ANTIBIOTICS

I decided to work on bacteria and antibiotics because since 1928, when Alexander Fleming accidentally discovered penicillin, these medicines became very common and increased the life expectancy of the population. Despite their therapeutic properties they can damage our organism if we don't take care with them. 

For this reason my objectives were to get informed about the mechanisms that antibiotics use against bacteria and bacteria resistance to antibiotics, because bacteria can also develop mechanisms to avoid the effect of the substance. I also wanted to check out the antimicrobial action of expired and non-expired antibiotics and compare them.
