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 epidemic clones have evolved resistance, with the goal of developing novel synthetic polyamines capable of killing even resistant strains. This could lead to the development of new effective topical therapeutics against these two important human pathogens. The award has an initial term from Aug 1, 2025 to Jul 31, 2029 and is being conducted by the University of Pittsburgh.
