The bacterial protein translocation machinery: a target for new strategies against antimicrobial resistance
University of Bristol School of Biochemistry
Bacterial resistance to antibiotics is a major problem affecting millions of people across the world. This severely affects treatment of bacterial infections as strains are emerging that are totally resistant to all clinically used antibiotics. Read more
 Supervisor: Prof I Collinson
 Year round applications  PhD Research Project  Self-Funded PhD Students Only
More Details
Intra-intestinal inactivation of residual antibiotics as a promising approach to fight against antimicrobial resistance.
Kingston University Faculty of Science, Engineering and Computing
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a grave threat to public health causing 50000 deaths per year in the US and Europe alone. With virtually no new antibiotic classes created in the new millennia, identifying novel strategies to preserve and extend the useful life of existing antibiotics has therefore become a priority.

How do antibiotics kill bacteria?
University of Sheffield Department of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology
Despite being a lynchpin of modern healthcare we still do not understand how cell wall active antibiotics such as penicillin and vancomycin kill growing bacteria, although several theories have been proposed. Read more
 Supervisor: Prof S J Foster

The cell envelope of bacteria as a target for chelant and antibiotic combinations
Durham University Department of Biosciences
Bacterial metal and antibiotic resistance are increasingly recognised as processes that evolve in parallel. Although not well-characterised, co-resistance is frequently associated with cellular import and export mechanisms. Read more
 Supervisors: Dr GJ Sharples, Dr W Vollmer
 30 September 2020  PhD Research Project  Competition Funded PhD Project (European/UK Students Only)

Nanoparticle delivery of antibiotics for treatment of pulmonary infection
Queen’s University Belfast School of Pharmacy
In respiratory diseases such as Cystic Fibrosis (CF) and COPD, the lungs are colonized by diverse polymicrobial bacterial communities. Read more
 Supervisors: Dr V Kett, Dr M Tunney
 Year round applications  PhD Research Project  Self-Funded PhD Students Only

Project to identify and optimise phages for UTI treatment
University of Leicester Department of Genetics and Genome Biology
Project to identify and optimise phages for UTI treatment. Urinary tract infections (or UTIs) are a significant problem worldwide, with significant morbidity and if not treated can lead to worse conditions such as sepsis. Read more
 Supervisors: Prof M Clokie, Dr M Haines
 15 October 2020  PhD Research Project  Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)
More Details
Biodegradable composite materials (Bio-PolyMOFs) for applications in targeted delivery of drugs to improve healthcare and reduce antimicrobial resistance in developing countries and worldwide
University of Bradford Faculty of Life Sciences
  Research Group: Chemistry and Biosciences
Growing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the major global challenges and is linked to the use of unnecessarily high doses of orally administered antibiotics following medical surgery and infections. Read more
 Supervisors: Dr S Nayak, Dr A L Kelly, Dr M Katsikogianni
 Year round applications  PhD Research Project  Self-Funded PhD Students Only

Bacterial lipocalins: Novel role in bacterial protection against antibiotic-induced membrane lipid peroxidation
Queen’s University Belfast School of Medicine, Dentistry & Biomedical Sciences
  Research Group: Centre for Experimental Medicine
We recently discovered that bacteria can resist antibiotics by mechanisms operating extracellularly in response to near-lethal antibiotic concentrations. Read more
 Supervisor: Prof M Valvano
 Year round applications  PhD Research Project  Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Dissecting the mechanisms of antibiotic resistance in Clostridium difficile
University of Sheffield Department of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology
Antibiotic resistance in pathogenic bacteria is one of the greatest health challenges facing humanity today. Read more
 Supervisor: Dr R Fagan

High-throughput discovery of novel antibiotics using synthetic microbiology
University of Portsmouth School of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a frequent problem in the treatment of disease caused by several clinical bacterial pathogens. In the European Union, antibiotic-resistant infections kill nearly 25,000 patients and represent a total expenditure of £1.5 billion per year. Read more
 Supervisor: Dr R Draheim

Bioinspired nanotopographies to control bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation
University of Liverpool School of Engineering
By 2050, it is predicted that the rise of resistant strains of bacteria and the ever-growing threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) will be the cause of 10 million deaths annually, and will burden the global economy by £64 trillion. Read more
