EE Connection!

Originally, I had planned to do my Extended Essay for IB on cancer research, but I later found that it did not satisfy the Biology rubric because it was more of a Medical topic. So I am saving that research for later, and I have thought of something that I may be able to connect to my current ISP research! 

Antibacterial agents such as triclosan and plant extracts have proven to be effective in controlling bacterial growth, but I would like to delve into this topic even further and determine what concentrations and mixtures prove most effective, and how bacteria react to these mixtures: do new antibacterial resistant strains develop?

I think it would be an interesting research topic, and I may post some of the sources I use for my EE on this blog.
