Deciphering mechanisms of host-to-host transmission in pathogenesis of pneumococcal disease
The major human pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) is the main cause of pneumonia and meningitis worldwide and despite the global implementation of vaccine programmes, the burden of pneumococcal disease remains unacceptably high, especially in low-income countries. Read more
BBSRC NWD: Dissecting the diversity of plasminogen-binding cell surface proteins to develop a vaccine for bovine digital dermatitis
Background. Developing vaccines for endemic diseases of livestock is key to reducing antibiotic use and antimicrobial resistance. Read more
BBSRC NWD CASE: Unravelling the Molecular Mechanisms of Bacterial Interspecies Interactions in the Skin Microbiome
Human skin is a nutrient-scarce environment colonised by many different microorganisms forming intricate microbial communities. Alterations of the skin microbiome composition are associated with different skin conditions (e.g., acne, body odour and atopic dermatitis). Read more
BBSRC NWD: Defining new strategies to treat AMR in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Background. Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa) is a Gram-negative bacterium and an opportunistic pathogen that causes a wide range of infections, particularly in immunocompromised individuals and patients with chronic illnesses. Read more
BBSRC NWD: Adaptive Defense: Unravelling Environmental and Microbial Influences on Pseudomonas aeruginosa Defense Dynamics and Phage Susceptibility
Mobile genetic elements (MGEs) such as bacteriophage and plasmids constantly challenge bacterial populations. In response, bacteria have evolved a variety of protective mechanisms known as defense systems (DS) to mitigate the risk of MGE attack. Read more
Molecular mechanisms underpinning A. baumannii virulence
. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major public health threat. Acinetobacter baumannii, is the leading cause of nosocomial infections worldwide, where its high resistance to antibiotic treatments and ability to cause lethal infections, has led to its categorisation as a “critical priority” pathogen by the WHO1.

Green electrospun nanofiber membranes for water treatment
Access to clean drinking water and sanitation has seen substantial progress in recent time, however there is still a large part of the global population, that live mostly in rural settings, that lack this basic necessity. The UN estimates that globally one in three people do not have access to safe drinking water and two in five people lack basic hand-washing facilities. Read more
