Antibiotics That Start With K
UpdatedDoing a lab for highschool about recombinant DNA, learning about taking the insulin gene from human DNA and inserting it into bacteria plasmids to mass-produce insulin. The plasmid had a gene for antibiotic resistance, there were three different types of antibiotics listed and the plasmid we were working with was resistant to one starting with a k, but I can't find it's name.

Hello, Amanda! How are you?
Was it possibly Keflex? It's a name brand for the antibiotic Cephalexin.
The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allerigc skin rash and diarrhea.
Yes, thank you so much! That was one of the three.
