Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

Hello!

I am a 9th grader and I am interested in competing in my statewide science fair this year. I would like to test the effect of different medications on P. Acnes growth. I was wondering if anyone could give me advice on how to by the material and safely ship it in PA. Also, if anyone could help set up a procedure to test my project it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Fred,

This has been a popular topic here in the past. I'm going to paste in a few links to previous ask an expert conversations on this topic and a science buddies protocol for this that uses E. coli that you can read. I hope these help you and give you a good start. If after you read them you need some more help and advice, feel free to post again in this thread!
