This federal Project Grant award of $2,976,652 from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), supports research to explore polyamine toxicity and resistance in epidemic bacterial skin pathogens, specifically methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Streptococcus pyogenes (Group A Streptococcus). The research aims to understand how polyamines enter and kill these bacteria, and how...
This federal Project Grant award of $254,478 from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) supports research to identify mechanisms of resistance to pathogen-specific antibacterial antisense compounds and develop strategies to overcome them. The award recipient, The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, will investigate resistance to these novel antibacterial compounds called...
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $267,310 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to the University of Illinois in Chicago. The grant, awarded on August 27, 2024, supports research to evaluate the role of a lipoic acid transfer protein in Staphylococcus aureus metabolism and virulence. The project aims to determine how this lipoic acid transfer protein interfaces with other metabolic enzymes to control...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.855), supports research to develop real-time detection methods for Staphylococcus aureus transmission in hospital settings. The $3,210,845 award to New York University aims to integrate whole-genome sequencing with weekly colonization sampling to analyze transmission dynamics and create predictive models that can...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research Program (CFDA 93.855), provides $637,275 to the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (Tees) to conduct research on the role of bacterial outer membrane porins in developing antibiotic tolerance. The project aims to uncover the rapid adaptation mechanisms that allow Gram-negative bacterial pathogens to tolerate chemical stressors, such...
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $231,700 Project Grant (CFDA 93.855 - Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) to Texas A&M University System Health Science Center to develop novel biologics for treating Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) infections, including antibiotic-resistant strains like methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). The research aims to characterize the binding and neutralization properties of engineered DARPin proteins against...
This Project Grant award of $2,841,668.00 from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) supports research focused on understanding how the bacterial enzyme SagB in Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) modulates the host immune response and promotes infection. The key goals are to determine how SagB-modified peptidoglycan is recognized by immune cells, investigate the mechanism of SagB-dependent IL-1β...
The federal Project Grant award R21AI188434, totaling $226,253.00, was provided by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855). The award supports research conducted by The Washington University, a private research institution located in Missouri, to study the modulation of neutrophil-endothelial interactions by the ADAM10 protein and its impact on Staphylococcus aureus infection. The goal is to...
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.855), awarded a $560,178 Project Grant to the University of Wisconsin - Madison. The goal of this 5-year grant, which runs from Jul 25, 2025 to Jun 30, 2030, is to understand the dynamics of the interaction between Staphylococcus aureus bacteriophages, the bacteria, and the mammalian host. Specifically, the research aims to elucidate the...
This federal Project Grant award of $392,409 from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (CFDA 93.855 - Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) supports research at Louisiana State University (LSU) on immune system evasion mechanisms used by the bacterial pathogen Staphylococcus aureus. The research aims to characterize how a specific S. aureus protein (SSL11) inhibits neutrophil function, understand the role of S. aureus superantigen-like proteins in colonization and...
