This project investigates how Influenza virus infection enhances bacterial adhesion in lung cells, potentially leading to severe respiratory diseases. By tracking bacterial interactions with airway epithelial cells, the research aims to uncover mechanisms that could inform new treatments for co-infections.
Illness caused by respiratory infection with Influenza viruses represents a vast healthcare and economic burden in the modern world.
It is well established that respiratory viral infections are often complicated by secondary bacterial infections, however co-infection often causes a much more severe disease than either microorganism would individually.
The mechanisms behind this synergy are not fully understood, however adhesion; the first step in bacterial colonisation, has been shown to be enha…
