Executive Summary
The rise of antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections poses a significant threat to global health. This proposal seeks funding for a project aiming to develop and test new antibiotics specifically designed to combat drug-resistant strains. Through rigorous in vitro and in vivo studies, our research will focus on the efficacy and safety of these novel compounds.
Introduction
The World Health Organization (WHO) has identified antibiotic resistance as one of the biggest threats to global health, food security, and development today. The objective of this research is to address this critical issue by developing new therapeutic options that can effectively treat infections caused by drug-resistant bacteria.
Research Objectives
-
Identify compounds with antibacterial activity against drug-resistant strains.
-
Analyze the efficacy of these compounds through laboratory testing.
-
Evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics of promising compounds in animal models.
Research Methodology
Compound Selection
We will collaborate with pharmaceutical chemistry experts to identify potential compounds. Using computational biology tools, we will focus on chemicals predicted to disrupt bacterial cell wall synthesis.
Laboratory Testing
Initial in vitro testing will screen these compounds against a panel of drug-resistant bacteria, including MRSA and VRE strains. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) assays will be used to determine the efficacy of each compound.
Animal Models
The top-performing compounds from in vitro tests will be further evaluated in animal models. We will assess their safety profiles, optimal dosage, and pharmacokinetics to ensure suitability for potential human trials.
Anticipated Outcomes
-
Development of a new class of antibiotics with high efficacy against resistant strains.
-
Comprehensive safety and efficacy data to support human clinical trials.
-
Potential for decreasing the global burden of antibiotic-resistant infections.
