Funded Activity Summary

This research focuses on the bacterium that is responsible for clostridial myonecrosis, or gas gangrene, an often fatal human infection. The objective is to determine how this bacterium controls the production of the various factors that are required to cause disease. The aims will be achieved by the integrated application of the latest techniques in microbiology and molecular biology and will result in a significant advancement in our knowledge of this complex regulatory process.
