Projekt
Molecular decision points underlying the systemic spreading of Staphylococcus aureus (C04)
Subject Area
Medical Microbiology and Mycology, Hygiene, Molecular Infection Biology
Term
since 2023
Project identifier
Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 492620490
C04 hypothesises that the outcome of Staphylococcus aureus systemic infection relies on molecular decision points that control the capacity of phagocytes to clear S. aureus from the bloodstream, and thereby influence bacterial spreading and infection of secondary organs. The objective of this project C04 is to identify these molecular decision points since they represent novel host targets for therapeutic intervention.
