Exploring the anti-inflammatory potential of Rothia mucilaginosa in chronic lung diseases. University of Antwerp
Ghent University, Laboratory for Microbiology, Parasitology and Hygiene (LMPH)
In this project, we will confirm the anti-inflammatory effects of Rothia mucilaginosa in complex and physiologically relevant in vitro models of CF and COPD lung inflammation, as well as in in vivo mouse models. The anti-inflammatory compound(s) produced by this bacterium will be identified and the mode of action unveiled.
