Characterising Clostridium difficile defence strategies against bacteriophages

University of Leicester
Department of Infection Immunity & Inflammation

Prof M Clokie, Dr A Millard

Application Deadline: 6 January 2019

Healthcare associated infections are a major problem for patients and a global health challenge. Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is particularly problematic, for example the UK has ~20,000 infectious diarrhoeal cases every year, and progressive complications can lead to death in ~3% of infected patients.

MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership: Evolution of antimicrobial resistance in Clostridium difficile

University of Sheffield
MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership

Dr R Fagan, Prof M Brockhurst

Application Deadline: 21 January 2019

Background. Increasing resistance to antibiotics is one of the greatest health challenges facing humanity today. Clostridium difficile is the primary cause of antibiotic-associated infections in UK hospital and antibiotic-induced disruption of the gut microbiota is a prerequisite for infection.
