This project focuses on understanding the genetic pathways of Streptococcus pneumoniae, a major cause of pneumonia. By using advanced gene identification techniques, it aims to discover potential drug targets to develop new treatments and vaccines for bacterial infections.
Respiratory tract infections are a leading cause of global mortality and morbidity.
It has been estimated by the WHO that annually 4-5 million people die of pneumonia.
Streptococcus pneumoniae, aptly named because it is the most important bacterial cause of pneumonia, is likely primarily responsible for these deaths.
Infection by S. pneumoniae is a complex process dependent on a number of essential pathways, of which members could form ideal candidates for drug design.
To identify microbial gene…
