Funded Activity Summary

Disrupting Chemical Communication in Bacteria: A Novel and Effective Antimicrobial Strategy. Due to increased application of antibiotics for disease control, many pathogenic bacteria have developed resistance to existing antimicrobials. The infections associated with the resistant bacteria incur a high cost in terms of human health, well being and health care costs. Thus, there is a clear need to develop new antimicrobials that have a novel mechanism of action. The technology proposed here has the potential to deliver enormous health and social welfare benefits to the Australian population as well as commercial benefits to Australian industry, through provision of new, locally produced technologies for the control of bacterial virulence.
