Halting the spread multidrug resistant uropathogenic E. coli [ 2016 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Mark Schembri (Principal investigator)

Brief description Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is a major cause of urinary tract infection (UTI) and increasingly associated with resistance to multiple antibiotics. This project will study the virulence of multidrug resistant UPEC and use this knowledge to develop new approaches to treat and prevent UTI. The outcomes will be applicable to one of the most common infectious diseases of humans and have broad-reaching impact on our understanding of other infections caused by Gram-negative pathogens.
