Persistence/ clearance

Persistence/ clearance

Research Question

  1. Characterise host and Mmm molecules involved in maintaining and clearing of an infection as an improved understanding of these processes should help design better vaccines.

Research Gaps and Challenges

  1. Lack of standardized assays to measure sites of bacterial persistence and clearance.

Solution Routes

  1. Understanding the dynamics needed to maintain or clear an infection is important in developing a response to improve bacterial clearance.
