    this experiment‚ we transformed the bacteria into an antibiotic resistant form by inserting a plasmid into it. We used heat shock in order to make the bacteria capable to uptake a plasmid in the presence of calcium ions that help disrupt the cell membrane (heat shock is the combination of altering hot and cold). When they are capable of accepting plasmids‚ the bacteria are incubated with plasmids that carry the resistance to a particular antibiotic‚ in this case ampicilin. We also ran a control sample

    Nowadays resistance to antibiotics is one of the major challenges facing treatment of bacterial infections. The majority of human pathogenic bacteria have been resistant to clinically used antibiotics. Moreover‚ the currently used antibiotics have low selectivity against bacteria and thereby affect both pathogenic bacteria and our benign endogenous microflora. Therefore‚ there is a need to find out a novel approach that inhibits the bacterial pathogenesis and infection [1-3]. Chlamydia trachomatis

    ood‚ Genetically modified   Genetically modified (GM) foods are foods derived from organisms whose genetic material (DNA) has been modified in a way that does not occur naturally‚ e.g. through the introduction of a gene from a different organism. Currently available GM foods stem mostly from plants‚ but in the future foods derived from GM microorganisms or GM animals are likely to be introduced on the market. Most existing genetically modified crops have been developed to improve yield‚ through
