Antibiotic resistance is a rising threat worldwide, making infections increasingly hard to treat. This project aims to tackle this urgent issue by mapping out the hidden genetic relationships within harmful bacteria, including Escherichia coli and related pathogens. By analyzing vast amounts of genetic data, we will identify critical points—called genetic hubs—essential for bacterial survival. Targeting these genetic hubs could lead to the development of powerful new antibiotics, providing fresh solutions to protect public health and combat resistant infections effectively.
