COMBACTE-CARE Combatting Bacterial Resistance in Europe - Carbapenem Resistance

Coordinator: PFIZER LIMITED (UK)

Multi-drug resistant Gram-negative bacteria (MDR-GNB): the ultimate challenge!Antibiotic resistance is a global public health concern recently elevated to the top three threats identified by the WHO, and subject of numerous national and international government activities. Although focused strategies have beneficially influenced infection rates due to methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), infections due to MDR-GNB are rapidly increasing.

About Seventh Framework Programme (2007–2013)

The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) ran from 2007 to 2013 and was the EU's main research-funding instrument of that period. It mobilised roughly €50 billion across cooperation projects, ERC frontier grants, Marie Curie fellowships, capacity-building actions and Euratom research. FP7 closed to new calls in 2013 but its projects continued for years after under their original grant agreements.

Co-funding: the European Union contributes €23.9M toward a total project budget of €85.1M — a funding rate of 28%, with the remainder covered by the consortium partners. The project runs over approximately 5 years from 2015-03-01 to 2020-02-28.
