Exploiting Gram-negative cell division targets in the test tube to obtain anti-microbial compounds (DIVINOCELL)
Start date: Mar 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2013,
The DIVINOCELL project will identify novel Gram-negative targets by exploiting the components of the divisome, their activities and interactions. It will also design selective assays for screening and will obtain a new class of antimicrobials: compounds to block bacterial division. New medicines to attack Gram-negative pathogens will decrease the burden of infectious disease and have a highly ben ...
