Title: Fluoroquinolone Resistance
Developed under the guidance of Dr. Michelle Thomas, Biology

The bacterial transmission of fluoroquinolone-resistant genes is a major public health risk. Resistant bacteria, isolated from swine fecal samples, were screened for the presence of fluoroquinolone resistance genes including qnrA, qnrB, qnrS, and AAC6’ using Polymerase Chain Reaction. We expect the samples to contain one of these four genes.
