About Us

Welcome to AntiBacter

Antibacter Research Group

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing global health threat, driven by the misuse and overuse of antibiotics across human health, animal health, and agriculture. AntiBacter research group is committed to contribute in combating the local and global AMR challenge by working on a diverse range of research projects that are directly/indirectly focusing human and animal infections. Our group is investigating antibacterial strategies like Phage therapy, antimicrobial compounds, quorum quenching (QQ), the synthetic RNA and CRISPR-based approaches to control MDR infections. AMR is one of the major focused areas of One Health approaches, and therefore AntiBacter is committed to investigate various bacterial infections with proven/unproven zoonotic potential like bovine mastitis, avian colibacillosis, and ESKAPE pathogens from hospitals and environment. Antibacter is open to all researchers who wish to collaborate for working together to tackle the challenge of AMR.

Research Scope

Our mission is to transform current infection response and control. We focus on the ‘One Health’ approach, emphasizing the health of humans, animals and the environment to better understand and control the spread of infectious diseases. Moreover, we are developing different alternative treatments for MDR bacterial infections. These include chemical-based therapies, such as ionic liquids, as well as biological therapies, such as naturally occurring bacteriophages.

Our Commitment

Our lab is committed to addressing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) through innovative approaches like bacteriophage therapy, antimicrobial drug design, and sustainable environmental solutions. Through collaborative research, we aim to tackle major public health, agricultural, and environmental challenges. Ultimately, we aim to contribute towards combating resistant bacteria, reducing antibiotic reliance, and supporting sustainable health for all life.
