Control of Microbial Growth: Explore decontamination and selective toxicity

In this simulation, we explore decontamination techniques that can be used to control the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms. By testing the ability of a candidate drug to prevent bacterial growth we will also examine compounds useful in the fight against infections.
