DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose to host the 13th International Workshop on Campylobacter, Helicobacter & Related Organisms (CHRO) from September 4-8, 2005 in Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. Over the past 21 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. 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 continues attracting intense investigation worldwide. Now that the genome sequence of C. jejuni has been available for a number of years, this information has provided an avenue for new research opportunities in both genomics and proteomics of Campylobacter pathogenesis. 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 bioinformatics and genomics, genetics, pathogenesis, immunology, diagnostics and epidemiology, antimicrobial therapy, new and emerging pathogens, and immune sequelae such as Guillain-Barre syndrome and reactive arthritis. 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.

描述（由申请人提供）： 我们提议于 2005 年 9 月 4 日至 8 日在澳大利亚昆士兰州黄金海岸主办第 13 届弯曲杆菌、螺杆菌及相关生物国际研讨会 (CHRO)。在过去的 21 年里，我们在世界各地与该领域的世界领先权威人士举行了会议。这个两年一度的研讨会始于 1981 年，是一个国际论坛，致力于增强我们对这一令人着迷的细菌病原体的了解。空肠弯曲菌现已被确定为发达国家和发展中国家细菌性腹泻的主要原因。现在已知空肠弯曲菌也是格林-巴利综合征的主要原因之一，并继续吸引全世界的深入研究。现在，空肠弯曲菌的基因组序列已经存在多年，这一信息为弯曲杆菌发病机制的基因组学和蛋白质组学的新研究机会提供了途径。 1983年在布鲁塞尔举行的第二届研讨会上，幽门螺杆菌（当时命名为幽门弯曲杆菌）被引入世界，胃十二指肠疾病的微生物革命开始了。幽门螺杆菌与胃炎、消化性溃疡和胃癌的关联现已得到普遍认可。随着许多科学家和临床医生正在为此努力，了解幽门螺杆菌相关的疾病过程以及预防或控制它的方法似乎是可以实现的。该研讨会将包括生物信息学和基因组学、遗传学、发病机制、免疫学、诊断和流行病学、抗菌治疗、新出现的病原体以及格林-巴利综合征和反应性关节炎等免疫后遗症的会议。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理想的机会，以交流信息、制定研究策略并更新有关这些具有极高医学重要性的微生物的最新信息。
