Summary
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major threat to global health. Lack of drug development severely hampers treatment options. We identified novel small molecules that target a crucial bacterial component called lipoteichoic acid. This interdisciplinary project will develop more stable and potent drug derivatives and further define the molecular activity of these compounds using a suite of chemical and molecular methods and invertebrate infection models.
