NEOSTREP Development of Group B Streptococcal vaccine to alleviate emerging antibiotic resistance through elimination of current prophylactic antibiotic strategies in GBS prevention.
Coordinator: LUNDS UNIVERSITET (SE)
The NeoStrep project will develop a novel vaccine against Group B Streptococcal (GBS) infections, responsible for 50% of life-threatening infections in newborns. The aim is to provide a safe and effective alternative to current generally implemented antibiotic prophylaxis. Emergence of clinical isolates of GBS with reduced susceptibility to penicillin (the preferred prophylactic antibiotic) and pattern of genetic mutations in penicillin binding proteins of GBS is identical to that observed in Streptococcus pneumoniae prior to the breakthrough of true widespread penicillin resistance in that p…
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.
EU contribution: €6.0M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 3.3 years from 2013-07-01 to 2016-10-31.
