Preserving Ancient Cultures Through Medicinal Narratives, Mckenzie Jewel Moss
Preserving Ancient Cultures Through Medicinal Narratives, Mckenzie Jewel Moss
Honors Projects
“Preserving Ancient Cultures through Medicinal Narratives” is a comprehensive project that takes an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the effects that culture has on health. The project as a whole includes the initial work and readings I performed to better understand differences in healing between the cultures found throughout South America, where Inca culture is still prevalent, and that of the Unites States, as well as an independent documentary. The documentary contains my own personal commentary complemented by video clips of interviews I performed with individuals living in South America.
Antibiotic Resistance In Escherichia Coli Iron Transport Mutants, Madeline Brandt
Antibiotic Resistance In Escherichia Coli Iron Transport Mutants, Madeline Brandt
Honors Projects
Studies previously completed on Escherichia coli mutants suggested the possibility of iron uptake as an influence on the antibiotic resistance seen in different strains. The research focused on the TonB energy transduction system and its contributions to efflux-mediated antibiotic resistance. To test the hypothesis that iron uptake has an influence on antibiotic resistance in Escherichia coli, the sensitivity to a variety of antibiotics was evaluated in strains of E. coli lacking genes that relate to the uptake of iron or the efflux system that is necessary for the uptake of iron. To test the efflux systems TolC and TonB …
