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.
