Antibiotics are still overprescribed in primary care and prescriptions are often not in line with the recommendations and guidelines set out by the medical associations. For this reason, the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI) and the Hygienenetzwerk Südostniedersachsen, the City of Braunschweig, the Klinikum Braunschweig, and the AOK Niedersachsen have developed a project called "Effectiveness of training on antibiotic prescription routine for General Practitioners (GP)" (Wirksamkeit von Antibiotikaschulungen in der niedergelassenen Ärzteschaft, WASA) that is funded by the Federal Ministry of Health (Bundesministerium für Gesundheit, BMG).

Fungi are considered a natural source of antimicrobials in drug discovery. So far, little research has been done on the fungal diversity of tropical regions which promises novel compounds with antibiotic activity. An international research group led by Prof Marc Stadler from the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI) has discovered novel metabolites that displayed antimicrobial and nematicidal responses. These substances are produced by a previously unknown type of fungus, which the team discovered during their study in the rainforest of Thailand. Results of their study were published in the scientific journal MycoKeys.

"Infections and Drugs" is one of four research topics of the Technische Universität Braunschweig. This positions TU Braunschweig as a close partner of the HZI. Their cooperation was the basis of the Systems Biology Centre BRICS that was established jointly in 2011. In an InFact interview, BRICS speaker Dieter Jahn, who is a professor of microbiology, explains how the TU Braunschweig and the HZI may benefit from each other in the long term.

Humans are constantly exposed to pathogens like bacteria and viruses. In most cases, the immune system successfully detects and eliminates these invaders. However, the herpesvirus family has adapted brilliantly to the immune system: its members manage to stay in the host’s body for life after infection. A research team at the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI) recently discovered that a protein of the carcinogenic Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) commandeers an immune system component for its own benefit. This enables the virus to successfully infect its host. The researchers have published their results in the peer-reviewed journal PLOS Pathogens.
