# Elucidating the chemical biology of the druggable targets in enteric pathogens C. jejuni & E. coli

> **NIH NIH P20** · UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY · 2024 · $183,676

## Abstract

This proposal’s objective is to elucidate the chemical biology of microbial metabolites and small molecules 
to specifically target intestinal pathogens, which cause intestinal infection & inflammation. The findings will 
facilitate the development of intervention strategies to specifically control the emergence and spread of 
antibiotic resistance in this significant human pathogen without altering the entire gut microbiota.
