How does collective antibiotic protection in bacterial populations impact the emergence of antibiotic resistance?
Research Group:
Institute of Evolutionary Biology
Antibiotic resistance is a major threat to public health, compromising treatment and prevention of bacterial infections previously well-controlled by antibiotics. Read more

Understanding Multiple Antibiotic Resistance in Gram-negative Bacteria
Research Group:
BBSRC MIBTP
Antibiotics have transformed medical practice, increased life expectancy and, together with vaccination, led to the near eradication of many bacterial diseases. Read more
Finding the source and tracking transmission of an antibiotic-resistant superbug, Acinetobacter baumannii
Understanding where antibiotic-resistant bacteria come from and how they are being spread between patients within a hospital is essential to be able to control the problem. Read more
SWBio DTP PhD project: Tackling antibiotic resistance through blocking of signalling pathways
This project is one of a number that are in competition for funding from the. South West Biosciences Doctoral Training Partnership (SWBio DTP). Read more
Understanding the effect of antibiotic combinations: a quantitative approach
Research Group:
Institute of Cell Biology
Our society is currently facing an important problem with the rise of multiple antibiotic resistant bacterial strains. As the development of new antibiotics has stalled in recent years, new strategies are urgently needed to supplement current available therapies. Read more
NERC GW4+ DTP PhD project: In-field detection of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs)
This project is one of a number that are in competition for funding from the NERC Great Western Four+ Doctoral Training Partnership (GW4+ DTP) for entry in October 2022. Read more
BBSRC White Rose DTP Studentship - How does S. pneumoniae acquire extracellular DNA from its natural environment to drive antibiotic resistance?
Understanding the flow of genetic information between individuals and communities is fundamental to our understanding of how biological systems function. Read more
EASTBIO Investigating the effects of plasmid-borne mutagenic DNA polymerases on the evolution of antibiotic resistance.
Research Group:
Institute of Cell Biology
Antibiotics from the b-lactam family have been a cornerstone of both human and animal medicine but with increasing bacterial resistance to many first and second-line drugs, clinicians are forced to use b-lactams of ‘last resort’, such as carbapenems. Read more
WR DTP fully-funded project: Genetic and molecular dissection of the effect of viruses on bacterial fitness and antibiotic resistance evolution.
The rapid spread of antibiotic resistance between bacteria is one of the greatest threats to human health and, if left unchecked, deaths per year are projected to rise substantially. Read more
Understanding the multiple antibiotic resistant ESKAPE pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii
Research Group:
BBSRC MIBTP
The ESKAPE pathogens, which evade most commonly used antibiotics, are a small group of bacteria, identified by the WHO in 2017, as presenting the greatest risk to global human health. Read more
Implementing point-of-care testing to optimise antibiotic prescribing in primary care
Rapid diagnostics and point-of-care testing (POCT) have been promoted as one of the key solutions to help reduce unnecessary antibiotic prescribing. Read more
The epidemiology of UTI and antibiotic resistant uropathogens
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are very common, and antibiotics are almost always prescribed for them. Read more
