In order to fight the increasing antibiotic crisis, an experimental lab isolated bacteria from the Redwood Forest. From soil and air, 47 isolates were extracted from the Redwood Forest and tested for inhibition against the six deadly ESKAPE pathogens. We sequenced the 16s rRNA gene to identify the bacterial species. Isolates that had identical 16s rRNA genes inhibited different pathogens, possibly leading to the discovery of a novel antibiotic producing bacteria.
