Objective
Top 6,5 et bas a 18 cm Discoveries in recent years revealed that microbial type IV secretion systems play a key role in many medically and ecologically relevant processes. Transfer of virulence factors from pathogenic bacteria to humans and the spread of disease resistance determinants are being studied by researchers from academia as well as industry. The proposed meeting series will give European researchers with different scientific backgrounds (medical, biochemical and ecological) the opportunity to exchange ideas and advance their understanding of type IV secretion. Knowledge has been rapidly increasing since the common mechanism of type IV secretion was suggested about six years ago. Goal of the first meeting will be to collect insights on the Medical and Ecological Implications in different experimental systems. Sessions will mainly deal with different basic aspects of type IV secretion systems, such as substrate metabolism, transfer mechanism, host response and ecological implications.
The scientific exchange will help to devise strategies for industrial applications, such as the isolation of inhibitors for type IV secretion-mediated transfer of virulence factors, which will be assessed in roundtable discussions. Goal of the meeting series is to foster basic as well as applied aspects of research on type IV secretion. Therefore, the second meeting on Mechanisms and Applications in Biotechnology will focus on the advances derived from basic studies on the secretion mechanism and their exploitation in biotechnology. Genomic studies on pathogenic microbes proved to be especially revealing in the past, and a special session will address recent developments.
