The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $534,418 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to the University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. The five-year grant, awarded on August 1, 2025, will investigate how components of human breastmilk can suppress the survival of the pathogenic bacterium Campylobacter jejuni, a major cause of diarrheal disease worldwide. The project aims to identify the specific bactericidal lipids and antimicrobial peptides in breastmilk, characterize the mechanisms by which C. jejuni can develop resistance to these components, and test the impact of the identified toxic milk components and bacterial mutations on C. jejuni colonization in a mouse model. Completion of these research objectives is expected to fill critical gaps in understanding the role of breastmilk in preventing C. jejuni-induced environmental enteric dysfunction, a condition leading to growth stunting and impaired cognitive development in children.
