Brief description Strains of Golden Staph bacteria resistant to many antibiotics are a major cause of hospital-acquired, and increasingly community-acquired, infections in Australia and around the world. Bacterial growth depends on the faithful inheritance of genetic material, which is facilitated by active DNA segregation. This project will elucidate key aspects of segregation processes so that treatments can be devised that interfere with the growth of this important pathogen and the development of resistance.
