About This Opportunity
University of Bath offers swbio dtp phd: disrupting polymicrobial biofilms and antibiotic resistance in Bath. The specific focus is the bath-led swbio project studies how biomaterials containing organic acids affect mixed-species catheter-associated biofilms and the evolution of antimicrobial resistance.
The Bath-led SWBio project studies how biomaterials containing organic acids affect mixed-species catheter-associated biofilms and the evolution of antimicrobial resistance. A polymicrobial in-vitro urinary-tract model will test changes in community assembly, interactions and antimicrobial susceptibility. The advertised activities and techniques include in-vitro polymicrobial biofilm models, antimicrobial biomaterials, bacterial community analysis, evolutionary microbiology.Who This Opportunity Is Best Suited For: Based on the documented research scope, this may particularly suit microbiology and biomaterials applicants interested in catheter-associated infection and resistance evolution.Potential Challenges / Who May Find It Less Suitable: SWBio DTP projects compete for funded studentships; award allocation is not guaranteed by the listing.Overall Opportunity Assessment: The advertised work connects in-vitro polymicrobial biofilm models, antimicrobial biomaterials, bacterial community analysis, evolutionary microbiology. Its distinguishing purpose is the Bath-led SWBio project studies how biomaterials containing organic acids affect mixed-species catheter-associated biofilms and the evolution of antimicrobial resistance. Applicants should assess the documented academic and practical constraints before proceeding.
