BESPOKE – Bacterial Enzyme and Surface Polymer Exploration Kit
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major health challenge and predicted to be associated with 8-10 million deaths per year by 2050. Gram-positive pathogens from the genus Enteroccocus and Gram-negative extra-intestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) are critical multidrug-resistant bacteria for which effective therapies are urgently needed. Both pathogens cause various types of infections, can survive in different biological niches, and can even be a beneficial part of the human gut microbiome. Glycoconjugate vaccines have proven highly effective for the prevention of bacterial infections. However, their development for Enterococcus spp. and ExPEC infections is hindered by the lack of…
