Grant Activity:
Harnessing structural insights to block pneumococcal manganese uptake
Purpose:
Streptococcus pneumoniae is the world’s foremost bacterial pathogen. In Australia, bacterial infections are responsible for more than 9,000 deaths every year, and the economic burden associated with treating diseases due to S. pneumoniae infections is more than $1 billion annually. This proposal aims to define how manganese, an essential trace element, is scavenged by S. pneumoniae during infection and then use a novel antimicrobial therapeutic strategy to block this pathway and prevent disease.
