Brief description There is a well-documented need to replenish the antibiotic pipeline with new products to combat the rise of drug resistant bacteria. In this project, the enzyme dihydrodipicolinate synthase (DHDPS) is targetted which is essential to bacterial viability. A number of independent but synergistic drug discovery approaches are investigated to develop and test DHDPS inhibitors in the pursuit of a novel class of antibiotics.
