Hi my name is Rhode-Maika Jean and welcome to my website. I’m in the 10th grade and a part of the Science Research Program here at our school. I will be talking to you about the experiment I am conducting here at school.

Do you ever ever wonder what type bacteria grows on certain surfaces? Some of these bacteria can be very harmful to the human body if you're not careful and sometimes lead to serious damage to your health if not treated correctly. One dangerous bacteria is MRSA which can lead to severe skin damage and can possibly kill you. In my experiment, I am collecting samples from the mats of the wrestling room. With these samples I am trying to determine if there is any MRSA growing on them. I will culture the bacteria, and once the bacteria has incubated I will test the effectiveness of various disinfecting procedures in limiting the growth of the bacteria.
