    A current predicament in the field of science is antibiotic resistance against superbugs.Though fighting against superbugs; which can be defined as a strain of bacteria unable to be killed using multiple antibiotics, is now a large problem, in the past it was not. The evolution of resistance in bacteria due to antibiotic abuse and lack of product development has brought upon us once again the fear of a pre-antibiotic era; one where simple, once easily defeated infections could kill. Already, infectious

    aureus is a gram positive bacteria. It is the leading cause of bacterial infections in humans involving the skin, blood, and lower respiratory tract in America (De Leo et. al., 2009); Natural selection of antibiotic resistance in S. aureus has led to the emergence of increased resistance to penicillin, methicillin, and vancomycin within the human population (De Leo et. al., 2009). One important difference between gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria is the structure of their cell walls. The cell
