Staphylococcus Epidermidis Research Paper

This project’s purpose is to find the effects of UV light on Staphylococcus epidermidis, furthermore recognized as staph infection. Staph infection is an infection usually acquired on the skin that can promote fever, nausea, pain, boils, and can lead to MRSA, which can lead to death. Because there is no cure for staph infection, this experiment called for research on clinical trials. A clinical trial was established that used blue light therapy to delay and kill the growth of staph infection. Coincidentally, blue light therapy is extremely similar to UV light, so that inspired this project. The materials used were glass petri dishes, an autoclave, Staphylococcus epidermidis, tanning lights, black light, sunlight, agar, and an incubator. To
