Given the large diversity of microorganisms in the marine environment, it is likely that they harbour novel antibiotics. We explore this through a combined approach of culturing new microorganisms, high-throughput screening and functional genomic analysis of microbial communities.ÌýNovelÌýbioactivesÌýcan be used in a wide range of industrial, medicalÌýand agricultural applications.Ìý
This researchÌýand the discovery of new therapiesÌýis particularly important in light ofÌýthe prevalence ofÌýantibioticÌýresistance among pathogenic bacteriaÌýthat cause substantial concerns within the public health system.ÌýÌý
