We are proposing to host the 10th International Workshop on Campylobacter, Helicobacter and Related Organisms and over the past 18 years, our meetings have been held around the world with the world's leading authorities in the field. This biennial workshop, started in 1981, is an international forum dedicated to enhancing our knowledge of this fascinating group of bacterial pathogens. The 10th Workshop will be held from September 12-16 in Baltimore, Maryland at the Renaissance Harborplace Hotel at the Inner Harbor. Campylobacter jejuni is now firmly established as the major cause of bacterial diarrhea in both developed and developing countries. C. jejuni is now known to also be one of the major causes of Guillain-Barre Syndrome and is attracting intense investigation worldwide. The genome sequence of C. jejuni wii be first discussed at this meeting. At the 2nd workshop in Brussels in 1983, Helicobacter pylori (then named Campylobacter pylori) was introduced to the world and the microbiological revolution of gastroduodenal disease began. The association of H. pylori with gastritis, peptic ulcers and gastric carcinoma is now universally recognized. An understanding of the disease process involving H. pylori and hopefully, the means to prevent or control it appears to be within reach as a great many scientists and clinicians are striving towards this end. The workshop will include sessions on diagnostics, epidemiology, genetics, pathogenesis, food safety, antimicrobial therapy and testing, new and emerging pathogens, and Guillain-Barre syndrome. These international workshops provide the ideal opportunity for clinicians and scientists from a variety of disciplines to exchange information, formulate research strategies and update themselves on the latest information on these microorganisms of extreme medical importance. At least 450 specialists are expected to attend the meeting. This is the first such meeting to be held in the United States. The site of the meeting is Baltimore, Maryland, a location convenient for large numbers of attendees from North America and Europe.

我们提议举办第十届弯曲杆菌、幽门螺杆菌及相关生物国际研讨会，在过去的18年里，我们的会议在世界各地举行，世界上该领域的领先权威都参加了会议。这个两年一次的研讨会始于1981年，是一个国际论坛，致力于提高我们对这一令人着迷的细菌病原体的认识。第十届研讨会将于9月12日至16日在马里兰州巴尔的摩市内港的万丽港湾酒店举行。在发达国家和发展中国家，空肠弯曲杆菌现已被确定为细菌性腹泻的主要原因。目前已知空肠梭菌也是格林-巴利综合征的主要病因之一，在世界范围内引起了广泛的研究。本次会议将首次讨论空肠梭菌的基因组序列。1983年在布鲁塞尔举行的第二届研讨会上，幽门螺杆菌（当时名为幽门弯曲杆菌）被介绍给世界，胃十二指肠疾病的微生物学革命开始了。幽门螺杆菌与胃炎、消化性溃疡和胃癌的关系现在已得到普遍认识。了解与幽门螺杆菌有关的疾病过程，并希望找到预防或控制它的方法，因为许多科学家和临床医生正在努力实现这一目标。讲习班将包括诊断、流行病学、遗传学、发病机制、食品安全、抗微生物治疗和检测、新出现的病原体以及格林-巴利综合征等会议。这些国际研讨会为来自不同学科的临床医生和科学家提供了交流信息、制定研究策略和更新自己关于这些具有极端医学重要性的微生物的最新信息的理想机会。预计至少有450名专家参加会议。这是第一次在美国举行这样的会议。会议地点在马里兰州的巴尔的摩，这是一个方便来自北美和欧洲的大量与会者的地点。
