wo main areas of concern is

antibiotic resistance

and al

Antibiotic !esistance" Antibiotics are gradually losing their medical effectivenessdue to the increas

of diseases that are becoming resistant

" If bacteria carrying antibiotic resistance genes were to cause an infection# it wo

very difficultfor doctors to treat using traditional antibiotics.

Grant Proposal 6ontinued

Specific Aims: $hrou%hout this proect* studies will &e conducted on determine whether GMOs exposure adversely affects human health.

Significance:!e anticipate that this proect would &e si%nificant due

to uncover the &enefits and disadvanta%es revealed in current research a

what remains un-nown. GMOs can &e viewed positively &ecause they ca

eliminate food insecurity &ut they can also &e viewed ne%atively &ecause

potential harm they may cause re%ardin% &iodiversity and livin% or%anis

proposal with help to raise awareness to the field of pu&lic health &ecau

usa%e is increasin% and the field of research is constantly pro%ressin%.

continue this research for lon%er if possi&le.
