Funded Activity Summary

The main aim of this project is to investigate how genes are regulated by a specific protein called MtrA. This protein has been involved in antibiotic resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and has recently been shown to be important for the survival of N. gonorrhoeae in early infections. Understanding the exact mechanisms of this resistance, and how the genes regulated by MtrA are important for early N. gonorrhoeae infections would aid in treatment options.
