- This $780,162 Project Grant from the National Institutes of Health's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases will fund research at Old Dominion University from August 2022 through July 2026 exploring the role of nutrient and stress sensing in regulating Clostridioides difficile physiology and behavior within the host. The research aims to determine how the stringent response regulates disease-relevant bacterial processes and characterize enzymes that mediate alarmone metabolism...
- This Project Grant, awarded on January 1, 2026, by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), provides $151,040 in funding to Tufts University School of Medicine to conduct fundamental research on bacterial cell division mechanisms in Clostridioides difficile. The research will identify and characterize the unique divisome—the multiprotein complex responsible for bacterial cell division—in this major...
- The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has awarded a $1,333,682 Project Grant under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) to North Carolina State University (NC State) to develop peptide inhibitors that neutralize bacterial toxins and deliver them using engineered probiotic yeast. This 3-year project aims to expand on NC State's previous work identifying a lead peptide inhibitor of Clostridioides difficile toxin, by screening for inhibitors of 5 additional bacterial toxins. The...

- This three-year National Science Foundation project grant of $240,000 supports research investigating how bacterial endospore formation affects host-microbe codiversification. The grantee will analyze metagenome-assembled genomes from museum rodent fecal samples to test for congruence between bacterial and rodent host phylogenies, indicating long-term associations. Bacteria will also be cultured from feces under anaerobic conditions and assayed for endospore formation. Phylogenetic multi-level...
