BSAC RESEARCH GRANTS 2017

Resumen de la convocatoria:

Convocatoria mediante la que se financiarán proyectos relacionados con la quimioterapia antimicrobiana. Este año ser dará prioridad a investigaciones dentro de las siguientes áreas:

Diagnostics:

• More optimal/effective use of antimicrobials through PK/PD in clinical practice
• Prognostic markers of bacterial infection (i.e. when is an antibacterial indicated?)
• Prognostic markers of infection with microorganisms resistant to first-line empirical treatment regimens (i.e. When is a broad-spectrum antibacterial indicated?)
• Can better use of existing or new laboratory diagnostics including biomarkers support better stewardship across healthcare communities, with special reference to Virology

Antimicrobial Stewardship:

• The impact of resistance or antimicrobial consumption surveillance on patient outcomes in community, long term care and acute facilities
• Innovative promotion of behaviour change science in prescribing in all healthcare settings
• Impact of educational solutions/ guidelines on stewardship practice / infection treatment outcomes [could be systematic review]
• Impact of sepsis campaigns on optimal antibiotic use / stewardship or use of "older agents" used in stewardship on clinical outcomes

Virology:

• Targeting viruses with pre-existing resistance to licensed therapies

Antibiotic Adjuvants:

• Antibiotic adjuvants i.e. resistance breakers (such as efflux pump inhibitors, uptake enhancers e.g. polymyxin B nonapeptide)

Molecular Mechanisms Of Antimicrobial Resistance (including bacteria, fungi, parasites and viruses)
