Development Of Antimicrobial Peptides Targeting Oral Pathogenic Bacteria
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$663,350.00
Summary
The bacterial associated oral diseases; periodontitis and caries are major public health problems. The prevalence of these diseases and increasing bacterial antibiotic resistance has meant there is a need to develop new therapies. This project addresses this by modifying a novel class of antibiotics/antiseptics �antimicrobial peptides� to target oral bacteria and testing them using a newly developed screening method. This project will lead to new therapies for periodontitis and caries.
