Microbiology (antibiotic resistance) PhD Research Projects PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 23 Microbiology (antibiotic resistance) PhD Research Projects PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

School of Science, Engineering and Environment

The School of Science, Engineering and Environment (SEE) is the largest school at the University of Salford. More than 250 postgraduate researchers (PGRs) study with us. We offer full and part-time PhD programmes as well as split-site and distance learning ones. Our innovative MPhil programme is designed to transition students from the guided module-structure towards independent learning and researching and our MSc by Research students are supported acquiring the skills needed for a successful transition towards further research or into a workplace of their choosing.

The role of Efflux in Antibiotic Resistance of Clinically Relevant Pathogens

University of Birmingham
Department of Microbes, Infections and Microbiomes
Antibiotics underpin all of modern medicine; they are used to treat bacterial infections, and to prevent infections after surgery and in patients with a suppressed immune system such as those undergoing cancer chemotherapy or organ transplantation. Read more

Bioinformatics analyses of microbial communities and their genetic contents to understand the transmission dynamics and selection of antimicrobial resistance

University of Reading
Department of Biomedical Sciences
Project Overview. Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) is one of the topics that we cannot ignore. Bacterial infections unsuccessfully treated due to AMR claim at least 700 000 lives per year worldwide and are projected to be associated with the deaths of 10 million people per year by 2050. Read more

Revolutionising antimicrobial susceptibility testing to optimise treatment of bacterial infection and overcome AMR

University of Leeds
Faculty of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: School of Molecular and Cellular Biology
Antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) is an essential component of the diagnostic workflow in the clinical microbiology laboratory, since it is able to define which antibiotics have the potential to treat bacterial infection in a given patient. Read more

Developing adjuvants to improve the antibacterial efficacy of fusidic acid: a novel approach to Antimicrobial Resistance?

University of Leeds
Faculty of Biological Sciences
Background. The antibiotic fusidic acid (FA) blocks bacterial protein synthesis by interacting with Elongation-factor G (EF-G). Resistance to FA is caused by FusB, which interacts with EF-G, altering its motion. Read more
