The PAACT project (short for: Precision Access to Antibiotic Compounds and Targets) serves as a hub within the DZIF for the discovery and characterisation of new antibacterial agents and lead structures. In the context of the project, the development pipeline of antibiotic candidates is continuously fed [...]

Antibiotic resistance is increasing at an alarming rate worldwide. New treatment options are urgently needed. Due to their specificity toward bacterial hosts, bacteriophages are a promising alternative or adjunct therapeutic option to conventional antibiotics. Their specificity and lack of adverse side effects make phages important objects in biomedicine research. Among [...]
