The research aims to examine how P. mirabilis RTX proteins...
This $1.23 million Project Grant from the National Institutes of Health's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases will fund research at Loyola University of Chicago from June 2022 to May 2025 under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855). The grant aims to further the university's investigation into how certain species of Lactobacillus bacteria found in the female urinary tract can control colonization of uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) through...
This Project Grant award of $828,820 from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research Program (CFDA 93.855) supports research to elucidate the molecular mechanisms by which the commensal bacterium Enterococcus faecalis can translocate across the intestinal epithelial barrier and cause systemic infections. The research aims to define how E. faecalis disrupts endoplasmic reticulum proteostasis and activates the unfolded...
This 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 $1,144,714 to the University of Illinois to conduct research aimed at discovering novel antibiotics for gram-negative pathogens. The primary goals are to identify physicochemical traits that allow antibiotics to evade efflux pumps in E. coli, P. aeruginosa, and A. baumannii, and then apply this knowledge to develop at...
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $661,693 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research (CFDA 93.855) program to The University of Iowa. The grant, awarded on June 16, 2025, supports research to define the structure and function of a new family of peptidoglycan crosslinking enzymes found in Clostridioides difficile, an opportunistic pathogen and leading cause of hospital-acquired infectious diarrhea. The research aims to advance...
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 program (CFDA 93.855), provides $216,264 to the University of Colorado-Denver to characterize the interactions between Group B Streptococcus (GBS) and Candida albicans (CA) within the gastrointestinal and female reproductive tract. The research aims to determine how CA's transcriptional reprogramming of GBS impacts vaginal colonization and disease,...

This Project Grant award of $234,750.00 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 will fund research at the University of Notre Dame to elucidate the interactions between three major uropathogens - E. coli, E. faecalis, and C. albicans - during catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI). The proposed studies aim to: 1) investigate E. coli's antagonistic effects on C. albicans, including impacts on gene expression; 2) identify the E. coli secreted factors responsible for inhibiting C. albicans growth and hyphal formation; and 3) characterize how E. faecalis proteases mitigate E. coli's antagonistic effects on C. albicans. The results are expected to enhance the understanding of polymicrobial CAUTI interactions and inform better treatment and prevention strategies. The award period is from July 15, 2025 to June 30, 2027.
