Description of the research topic:
The rapid spread of antibiotic resistant pathogens represents a dire healthcare threat. Due to the alarmingly quick decrease of the efficiency of novel and current antibiotics, there is an urgent need for effective alternitves. One of the most promising avenues is the therapeutic application of bacterial viruses (bacteriophages or phages). During the course of the doctoral program, the PhD student will explore the therapeutic applicability of phages isolated from the environment against a panel of antibiotic resistant bacterial species. Following comprehensive bioinformatical and molecular biological analysis, the possibility of employing genome engineering technologies is assessed. The observations will ultimately augment the therapeutic potential of phage based treatments for widespread usage.
