14th International CHRO Workshop

我们提议主办第14届国际弯曲杆菌、螺杆菌及相关疾病研讨会 2007年9月2日至5日在荷兰鹿特丹举行的生物（CHRO）。在过去23 多年来，我们的会议一直在世界各地举行，与世界？的主要权威， 领域这个两年一度的讲习班始于1981年，是一个国际论坛，致力于加强 我们对这组迷人的细菌病原体的了解。空肠弯曲菌现在 在发达国家和发展中国家， 国家C.空肠也是格林-巴利综合征的主要病因之一 综合征，并继续吸引世界各地的激烈调查。既然基因组 C.序列空肠已经存在了很多年，这一信息提供了一个 弯曲杆菌基因组学和蛋白质组学的新研究机会 发病机制1983年在布鲁塞尔的第二次研讨会上，幽门螺杆菌（当时被命名为 幽门弯曲杆菌）被引入世界， 胃十二指肠疾病开始。H.幽门螺杆菌与胃炎，消化性溃疡， 胃癌是目前公认的一种恶性肿瘤。对疾病过程的了解 涉及H.幽门螺杆菌，并希望，手段，以防止或控制它似乎是触手可及的 许多科学家和临床医生都在为此而努力。讲习班将 包括生物信息学和基因组学、遗传学、发病机理、免疫学 诊断和流行病学，抗菌治疗，新的和新兴的病原体，以及免疫 后遗症如格林-巴利综合征和反应性关节炎。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理想的机会， 交流信息，制定研究策略，了解最新情况 这些微生物的信息在医学上非常重要。

We propose to host the 14th International Workshop on Campylobacter, Helicobacter & Related Organisms (CHRO) from September 2-5, 2007 in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Over the past 23 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.
