Abstract

The purpose of this project was to see if a genetic alteration to gram-negative bacteria would affect the phenotypic ability to resist the attachment of chemokines. In other words, we were trying to see if we could change the structure of a bacterium by altering the DNA. As a result of that alteration, would our immune systems fight the infection more easily with a chemokines response.
