Dr. Michael Bertucci - The Development of Bacterial Resistance to Current Antibiotics
October 24, 2020
学习 how the development of bacterial resistance to current antibiotics has turned once treatable bacterial infections into serious health risks. Consequently, the need for new strategies that treat or prevent infection while minimizing resistance formation is critical. A unique cell-density dependent communication mechanism in bacteria known as quorum sensing has been demonstrated to regulate a series of important colony-wide physical responses (phenotypes) that influence human health. Our research lab makes unique, biologically relevant molecules known as peptides capable of controlling these quorum sensing phenotypes in both disease-causing and probiotic bacterial species. Dr. Bertucci currently serves as an Assistant Professor of Chemistry.
