Grant Activity:
Characterising a novel molecular pathway to reduce penicillin failure for Strep throat
Purpose:
Strep throat is a common bacterial infection caused by Group A Streptococcus (GAS). While GAS is sensitive to penicillin in vitro, 10-20% of infections recur after treatment. We have identified that some GAS strains can replicate in a penicillin-resistant intracellular niche. This project will define this mechanism of resistance to penicillin and other antibiotics, and develop a prototype test to detect resistant infections at the point of care. This will lead to better treatment outcomes.
