1. Chaperone/usher machinery : a catalyst of virulence organelle assembly
Abstract : Many virulence organelles of Gram-negative bacterial pathogens are assembled via the periplasmic chaperone/usher (CU) pathway. The assembly process is a complex task, involving secretion of organelle subunits via the two membranes and periplasm, subunit folding and assembly. READ MORE

2. Pilicides and Curlicides : Design, synthesis, and evaluation of novel antibacterial agents targeting bacterial virulence
Abstract : New strategies are needed to counter the growing problem of bacterial resistance to antibiotics. One such strategy is to design compounds that target bacterial virulence, which could work separately or in concert with conventional bacteriostatic or bactericidal antibiotics. READ MORE

3. Structure and host-receptor recognition studies of Gram-negative bacterial fimbriae assembled via the chaperone/Usher Pathway
Abstract : Enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC), enteroaggregative E. coli (EAEC), and Yersinia enterocolitica (YE) are the principle etiological agents of acute and persistent diarrhea worldwide including resource-poor and industrialized regions. READ MORE

4. Synthesis of substituted Ring-Fused 2-Pyridones and applications in chemical biology
Abstract : Antibiotics have been extensively used to treat bacterial infections since Alexander Fleming’s discovery of penicillin 1928. Disease causing microbes that have become resistant to antibiotic drug therapy are an increasing public health problem. READ MORE

5. Peptidomimetics based on ring-fused 2-pyridones : probing pilicide function in uropathogenic E. coli and identification of Aβ-peptide aggregation inhibitors
Abstract : This thesis describes the synthesis and biological evaluation of highly substituted, ring-fused 2-pyridones. The utility of the bicyclic 2-pyridones to gain fundamental insights into the disease processes of bacterial infections and Alzheimer’s disease has been investigated. READ MORE
