OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Towards New Antibiotics – Targeting Penicillin Binding Proteins
The lecture will begin by giving some thoughts on possible reasons as to why β-lactams remain the most important antibacterials after more than 70 years of use. Mechanisms of resistance to the β-lactams will be described, focussing on the β-lactamases. A review of attempts to develop non β-lactams targeting the penicillin binding protein (PBP) targets of β-lactams and β-lactamases will be given. Work aimed at the development of single compounds targeting PBPs and both metallo and serine β-lactamases will be described.
