Published purpose

Many antibiotics are derived from natural products, small molecules made by organisms in the environment. In this project, high-throughput screening and chemical analysis will be used to isolate and identify novel natural products with unique activities against drug-resistant strains of E. coli. Using this approach, it is anticipated that a new classes of bioactive compounds will be identified that could form the foundation for future drug development.
