Description: Antibiotic resistant bacteria infiltrate drinking water, increase human exposure, and spread into clinical settings. Regulatory agencies need simple test for ARI to monitor environmental quality. This study is first to measure resistance in a consortium of bacteria, not pure cultures. Our rapid method – “In-the-zone” (ITZ) employs a) the size of zones of inhibition b) identity of bacteria in the… more

Description: The interphase (littoral zone) of the Florida Everglades
and surrounding marine environments are
dominated by mangrove forests and mudflats that
transition into freshwater communities. As salinity
levels change, plant cover of the freshwater community
will be adversely affected, but perhaps more
importantly, their microbial symbionts responsible for
their tolerance to high salinity will be… more
