Innovative antimicrobial treatments for successful bone allografts [ 2017 - 2019 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Mark Willcox (Principal investigator) ,  Prof Naresh Kumar ,  Prof William Walsh

Brief description Bone healing sites are commonly infected, and this is associated with adverse clinical and significant socioeconomic outcomes. These studies will determine whether our novel antimicrobials can be used to reduce bone infections by studying the combination of antimicrobials and bone in laboratory and bone fracture studies whilst minimising the potential of developing antibiotic resistance.
