PROJECT INFORMATION
TITLE: Novel ANTI-INFECTIVE COMPOUNDS FROM NATURAL SOURCES TO PREVENT AND CONTROL Human
INFECTIONS BY Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria
ACRONYM:
SUMMARY: The objective is to identify, characterize and evaluate the effectiveness of novel anti-infective
compounds isolated from natural sources (microorganisms, plants or animals) for future development of an
alternative means to antibiotics to prevent and control human infections by Gram-positive (mainly within the
genus Streptococcus) and Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria, and to reduce the increasing antibiotic
resistance amongst these human pathogens by reducing the use of antibiotics in human medicine. Emphasis
will be placed on the identification, and biochemical and molecular characterization of active antimicrobial
compounds, as well as on the elucidation of their antimicrobial effect and mode of action on bacterial
pathogens with acquired antibiotic resistance.
