Funded Activity Summary

This research project will elucidate the mechanistic basis to optimally combine available beta-lactam antibiotics to prevent resistance of gram-negative bacterial ïsuperbugsÍ. These mechanistic insights will be utilised to develop novel antibiotics that are active against these multidrug-resistant bacteria. The interdisciplinary project will substantially contribute to solving the global crisis due to multidrug-resistant bacteria and inform the design of effective new antibiotics.
