Combating bacterial 'superbugs' [ 2014 - 2017 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Cornelia Landersdorfer (Principal investigator)

Brief description Resistant bacteria are among the 3 most serious threats to human health. This project will substantially improve our quantitative understanding of how bacteria survive antibiotics and enable the design of innovative antibiotic combination therapies to combat resistant ‘superbugs’. My research outcomes will inform clinicians how to optimally use available antibiotics and greatly support rational development and optimisation of new antibiotics in collaboration with pharmaceutical industry.
