Bacterial lipocalins: Novel role in bacterial protection against antibiotic-induced membrane lipid peroxidation
We recently discovered that bacteria can resist antibiotics by mechanisms operating extracellularly in response to near-lethal antibiotic concentrations. Read more
Molecular mechanisms shaping polymicrobial interactions and antibiotic resistance
Project highlights. Dynamics of multispecies interactions under different environmental conditions. Identification of determinants and mediators of bacterial interaction. Read more
Point-of-care systems for rapid urinary tract infection diagnosis using microfluidics
This project is one of 15 four year PhD Studentships funded by Medical Research Scotland (MRS) (. https://www.medicalresearchscotland.org.uk. Read more
Antibiotic Resistance and Biofilm Formation in Clinical Isolates of Enterococcus faecium – a WHO High Priority Pathogen
E. faecium is an important human pathogen which exhibits resistance to a range of antibiotics, and is implicated in a wide variety of device associated infections. Read more
Relationship between antibiotic therapy and development of antimicrobial resistance in patients with bronchiectasis and COPD
To decrease the risk of acute infective exacerbations or flare-ups of their condition, individuals with bronchiectasis and COPD are frequently prescribed long-term oral and inhaled antibiotics. Read more
Determining the killing mechanism of potent lectin-like protein antibiotics
Antibiotic resistance is a global threat to human health. This project is focused on Pseudomonas aeruginosa a major cause of hospital acquired infections such as ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP), bacteremia and catheter-associated urinary tract infections. Read more
Chemical and Biological studies of novel antimicrobials
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing global problem that seriously threatens global health and wealth. For example, in 2019, bacterial AMR was associated with over 4.9 million deaths, higher than the total deaths caused by COVID-19 in 2020. Read more
Development of novel, sustainable and antibiotic-free antimicrobial strategies to control pathogens with zoonotic potential at the interface of wild birds and humans.
An opportunity to apply for a funded full-time PhD in the College of Health, Science and Society at the University of the West of England, Bristol. The studentship will be funded by the University of the West of England, Bristol and external organisations . Read more
Detection of urinary volatile compounds to determine antibiotic resistant bacteria in urinary tract infections
Introduction. An opportunity to apply for a funded full-time PhD in the College of Health, Education and Social Sciences, UWE Bristol. The studentship will be funded by the University of the West of England (UWE Bristol): . Read more
Dissecting the molecular mechanisms of antibiotic resistance in bacterial pathogens
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
Synthetic antimicrobials based on natural toxins
Tuberculosis remains the deadliest bacterial disease on the planet, killing around 1.5 million people each year. It can be treated, but antibiotic resistance is increasing. Read more
High-throughput discovery of novel antibiotics using synthetic microbiology
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
New tools for new antibiotic targets – The development of novel probes for mechanistic studies on bacterial glycolipid-processing enzymes
In 2019 antimicrobial resistance (AMR) killed more people than breast cancer, HIV and malaria. Addressing AMR is a real-world need (QUB Strategy 2030). Read more
The biophysics of bacterial growth, division, and antibiotic induced death
Gram positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus (the SA in MRSA) have a thick cell wall which gives the cell its shape and allows it to exist with a high internal osmotic pressure. Read more
Catalytic Antibiotic Activation: Tackling Resistance with Artificial Metalloenzymes
Background. Antimicrobial resistance is a global health crisis and new antibacterial strategies are urgently needed, including methods for the targeted activation of antibiotics in pathogenic bacteria. Read more
