Bacteriocins targeting G- pathogens #AMR

[BioIndustry Association (BIA) @BIA_UK]

🌟 Huge congratulations to @GloxThera, a BIA member, for securing £1 million in grant funding from the PACE-AMR initiative! 👏 #AMRweek

This funding will accelerate the development of their precision #antibiotics, harnessing bacteriocins to combat drug-resistant bacteria.

With #AntimicrobialResistance #AMR posing a growing global health threat, this breakthrough couldn’t come at a more crucial time.

👏So proud of this achievement!

Distinct bacteriocin profiles emerged between E. faecium and E. lactis with species-specific adaptations. Hospital E. faecium were enriched in enterocin A, bacteriocins 43 (or T8) and novel ones.

We need more strain-level bacteriocin studies!
