Novel Anti-Infective Agents That Act By Enhancing The Host Innate Response

Summary
Antibiotic resistance is one of our major challenges, with fears expressed that we may soon run out of effective antibiotics for the treatment of infections. The goal of this project is to develop a novel class of antibiotics that acts by enhancing our immune response to infection rather than attacking the bacteria themselves, and therefore will not be susceptible to the development of bacterial resistance. These agents inhibit the degradation of a key enzyme involved in combating infections.
