Dissecting the molecular mechanisms of antibiotic resistance in bacterial pathogens

University of Leeds
Faculty of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: School of Molecular and Cellular Biology
Antibiotics make possible the treatment and cure of life-threatening bacterial infections. Since their introduction in the middle years of the 20th Century, they have added ~10 years to the human lifespan, and have become a cornerstone of modern medicine. Read more
 Supervisor: Prof A O'Neill

The role of Efflux in Antibiotic Resistance of Clinically Relevant Pathogens

University of Birmingham
Department of Microbes, Infections and Microbiomes
Antibiotics underpin all of modern medicine; they are used to treat bacterial infections, and to prevent infections after surgery and in patients with a suppressed immune system such as those undergoing cancer chemotherapy or organ transplantation. Read more

How can DNA condensate despite its negative charge? Implications in genome regulation, antibiotic resistance and gene therapy

University of York
School of Physics, Engineering and Technology
  Research Group: Physics of Life
DNA molecules, being highly negatively charged, naturally repel each other. However, in the presence of multivalent ions or specific proteins, they can overcome this repulsion and condense into compact structures. Read more

Molecular characterization of suicidal phage-resistance mechanisms in bacteria

University of Leicester
Molecular and Cell Biology
Importance. The proliferation of antibiotic resistance (AMR) through horizontal-gene-transfer (HGT) is a formidable health challenge, accounting for 700,000 deaths annually1. Read more

Utilizing machine learning to decipher the mechanism of protein-DNA binding

The University of Manchester
Division of Evolution, Infection and Genomic Sciences
  Research Group: Division of Evolution, Infection and Genomic Sciences
Transcriptional gene regulation, or the ability to control the timing and levels of gene expression through binding of transcription factors (TFs) to DNA, is a defining feature of life. Read more

Bioinformatics analyses of microbial communities and their genetic contents to understand the transmission dynamics and selection of antimicrobial resistance

University of Reading
Department of Biomedical Sciences
Project Overview. Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) is one of the topics that we cannot ignore. Bacterial infections unsuccessfully treated due to AMR claim at least 700 000 lives per year worldwide and are projected to be associated with the deaths of 10 million people per year by 2050. Read more

Revolutionising antimicrobial susceptibility testing to optimise treatment of bacterial infection and overcome AMR

University of Leeds
Faculty of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: School of Molecular and Cellular Biology
Antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) is an essential component of the diagnostic workflow in the clinical microbiology laboratory, since it is able to define which antibiotics have the potential to treat bacterial infection in a given patient. Read more

Antimicrobial resistance and gene regulation in Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli.

Aston University
College of Health and Life Sciences
Details of the Project. Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) is a major cause of diarrhoeal disease in industrialized and non-industrialized countries and has been shown to be the cause of travellers’ diarrhoea and persistent diarrhoea in children and HIV patients. Read more

Investigating Non-thermal ‘Cold’ Plasmas for Enhancing the Delivery and Efficacy of Antibiotics and Complex molecules to biofilms of clinically relevant bacteria

Queen’s University Belfast
School of Pharmacy
  Research Group: Infection and antimicrobial resistance
Biofilms, complex multi-species consortia of microorganisms existing either as surface attached communities or non-surface-attached aggregates, are characterised by significantly elevated tolerance to antimicrobial challenges and often an inability to adequately treat the infection with conventional antibiotics.

Developing adjuvants to improve the antibacterial efficacy of fusidic acid: a novel approach to Antimicrobial Resistance?

University of Leeds
Faculty of Biological Sciences
Background. The antibiotic fusidic acid (FA) blocks bacterial protein synthesis by interacting with Elongation-factor G (EF-G). Resistance to FA is caused by FusB, which interacts with EF-G, altering its motion. Read more
