Bacteria, Antibiotics and Immunity
Presentation
Antibiotics have revolutionized modern medicine but antibiotic resistance is an increasing threat to health. The National, and International action plans demonstrate the necessity to develop innovative research to stop the progression of resistance in community-acquired and care-related bacterial infections. Antibiotics are uniquely considered as direct antimicrobial agents but there are several pieces of evidence that host immunity contributes to the efficacy of the antibiotic treatment. Deciphering the nature of cellular and molecular immune effectors contributing to antibiotic activity will open avenues to innovative approaches to combat infections with multidrug-resistant bacteria.
The team will promote two main research axes :
- Development of an adjunct therapy in bacterial pneumonia.
- Identification of immune correlates of protection throughout the differentiation and function of myeloid cells during antibiotic treatment of infections.
Highlights
- Coordination of the European project FAIR which aims at testing a first-in-man clinical study of an aerosoltherapy stimulating respiratory innate immune defenses.
- Collaborative project with Pr Jan-Willem Veening, EPFL, on the identification of virulence factors of pneumococcus.
