FutureAntibiotics Antibiotics of the future: are they prone to bacterial resistance?

Coordinator: HUN-REN SZEGEDI BIOLOGIAI KUTATOKOZPONT (HU)

Although several new antibiotic candidates are in the clinical pipeline, the future evolution of resistance in bacteria may render them ineffective. This project aims to develop a framework for forecasting the long-term effectiveness of new antibiotic candidates. For this purpose, we will decipher the general principles shaping bacterial resistance to a wide range of antibiotic candidates currently in development. Using recently developed methods in our laboratory, we will study resistance evolution in bacterial ESKAPE pathogens at unprecedented resolution and address four specific aims. Firs…

About Horizon Europe (2021–2027)

Horizon Europe is the EU's current research and innovation programme, covering 2021 to 2027 with a budget of roughly €95.5 billion. Its three pillars are Excellent Science (frontier research and mobility), Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness (mission-driven collaborative projects in health, climate, digital, security and food) and Innovative Europe (the EIC and EIT). It also funds five EU Missions targeting cancer, climate adaptation, smart cities, oceans and soils.

EU contribution: €3.5M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 5 years from 2024-07-01 to 2029-06-30.
