The DSMZ is the most comprehensive biological resource center worldwide. Being one of the world's largest collections, the DSMZ currently comprises more than 93,600 items, including about 41,400 different bacterial and archaeal strains, 10,300 fungal strains, 990 human and animal cell lines, 1,000 plant viruses plus antisera, 1,500 bacteriophages and more than 23,600 different types of bacterial genomic DNA. All biological materials accepted in the DSMZ collection are subject to extensive quality control and physiological and molecular characterization by our central services. In addition, DSMZ provides an extensive documentation and detailed diagnostic information on the biological materials. The unprecedented diversity and quality management of its bioresources render the DSMZ an internationally renowned supplier for science, diagnostic laboratories, national reference centers, as well as industrial partners.
The trans-sectoral research of the DSMZ focuses in (1) microbial diversity and the underlying evolutionary mechanisms (cross-cutting research topic Systematics & Evolution), (2) the diversity of microbial functions and adaptations (cross-cutting research topic Functional Diversity), and (3) the molecular mechanisms of biotic interactions (symbiosis, mechanisms of disease, cancer; cross-cutting research topic Pathobiology). On the applied side, research also covers the development of methods for the access and ex situ preservation of biodiversity.
The DSMZ maintains specific expertise and offers counseling in the areas

Research Associate / PhD candidate (m/f/d): Molecular mechanisms of metronidazole resistance in Bacteroides fragilis
Activities and responsibilities
The Leibniz Institute DSMZ-German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures GmbH, Braunschweig, Germany, offers the position of a
Research Associate / PhD candidate (m/f/d)
“Molecular mechanisms of metronidazole resistance in Bacteroides fragilis\"
We aim to investigate the molecular mechanisms of antibiotic resistance in Bacteroides fragilis, an important human pathobiont. This project focuses on resistance to metronidazole, which remains relatively rare but is of growing clinical concern. The aim is to characterize metabolic adaptations in resistant clinical isolates and to elucidate the role of Nim proteins and key enzymes in central metabolism. The project seeks to advance our understanding of resistance mechanisms and to identify potential diagnostic markers.
The position is offered in as part of a joint project with a second PhD candidate in the group of Ap. Prof. Dr. David Leitsch at the Medical University of Vienna.
For further information and more detailed project descriptions please contact Prof. Dr. Meina Neumann-Schaal (email).
