DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a single year application for a block travel grant to support expenses for up to ten selected U.S. graduate students and post-doctoral scientists attending the 17th biennial Congress of the International Organization for Mycoplasmology (IOM) at Tianjin Medical University in Tianjin, China, July 6-11, 2008. This conference is the only regular national or international meeting that focuses specifically on the biology and pathogenesis of the mycoplasmas, which are very small, cell wall-less bacteria important to public health, agriculture, and wildlife. This congress is sponsored by and organized under the direction of the International Organization for Mycoplasmology to provide a forum for the exchange of scientific findings regarding the mycoplasmas, discuss recent research progress, identify areas requiring greater emphasis, set research goals for the next biennium, recognize outstanding achievement in the field, and promote the study of mycoplasmas to young scientists. This conference focuses specifically on the biology and pathogenesis of the mycoplasmas, which are bacteria important to public health, agriculture, and wildlife. Mycoplasma pneumoniae is the leading cause of pneumonia in older children and young adults and can lead to chronic or permanent lung damage. Mycoplasma genitalium is a major cause of non-gonococcal urethritis, while Ureaplasma urealyticum infections are associated with pulmonary problems in neonates, spontaneous abortion, preterm labor, and premature birth.

描述（由申请人提供）： 这是一年申请块旅行赠款，以支持上十位选定的美国研究生和博士后科学家参加国际支原体组织（IOM）第17届双年两年一次的大会，该组织在中国蒂安金（Tianjin）的天津医科大学（Tianjin Medical University），中国6-11，2008年7月6日至11日，这是唯一的普通国际或国际范围。对公共卫生，农业和野生动植物重要的无细胞壁细菌。该国会是由国际支原体学组织的指导和组织的，以提供一个关于分支机构的科学发现的论坛，讨论了最新的研究进展，确定需要更加重视的领域，为下一个Biennium设定研究目标，认识到现场的杰出成就，并促进Mycoplasmas对年轻科学家的研究。这次会议特别关注分枝杆菌的生物学和发病机理，这些细菌对公共卫生，农业和野生动植物很重要。支原体肺炎是年龄较大的儿童和年轻人肺炎的主要原因，可导致慢性或永久性肺部损伤。支原体生殖器是非造成尿道炎的主要原因，而尿素超肾上腺素感染与新生儿，自发流产，早产和早产有关。
