Project

Probing the evolutionary robustness of antimicrobial combination therapy to combat biofilm-related infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria

that increase the effect of antibiotics and/or the use of anti-virulence drugs are considered as possible innovative approaches to combat difficult to threat biofilm-related infections. In this doctoral work I will investigate if and how resistance towards this kind of treatment develops, using an experimental evolution approach.
