Brief description Bacterial pathogens, especially those associated with multiple drug resistances, are becoming increasingly serious health problems. This project will investigate the key protein FtsK and the role it plays in co-ordinating bacterial chromosome segregation and cell division. FtsK from three specific pathogens, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus, will be characterized to better understand its vital role, and to inform and focus future drug design.
