ASM Conference on Pasteurellaceae

描述（由申请人提供）：国际巴斯德菌学会（IPS）正在组织巴斯德菌科2008年会议，将于10月12日至15日在意大利索伦托的希尔顿索伦托宫酒店举行。IPS科学家每3-5年举行一次会议，以促进对巴斯德菌科的进一步研究。本次会议的主要目标是：1）促进关于巴斯德菌科成员最近研究的信息交流; 2）促进学术界和私营部门科学家之间的互动和合作，参与这些动物和人类病原体的基础，临床和分类学研究; 3）为新的研究人员提供一个与现有研究人员互动的论坛，并鼓励年轻研究人员在该领域继续工作。 虽然巴斯德菌科的大多数物种是动物病原体，但通过信息交流，研究人类病原体的研究人员的加入大大增加了所有物种的进展。与私营部门调查人员的互动对于促进疫苗、诊断测试和治疗的发展以及为学术科学家提供资金至关重要。本次会议的一个重要目标是为研究生和博士后研究员提供一个与该领域知名科学家互动的机会，并促进他们继续研究这组细菌。 这次会议与许多具有全球意义的传染病有关，包括慢性支气管肺炎感染、败血症、脑膜炎、性传播疾病、中耳炎和牙齿/牙周感染。除了将研究这些生物的临床医生和基础科学家聚集在一起外，会议还吸引了一大批从事动物疾病研究的兽医微生物学家，他们与人类病原体分享病理生理学。因此，这次会议将多个学科联系起来，为交流和发展思想提供机会。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The International Pasteurellaceae Society (IPS) is organizing the Pasteurellaceae 2008 Conference, to be held in Sorrento, Italy October 12th-15th at the Hilton Sorrento Palace Hotel. IPS scientists meet every 3-5 years to promote further research on the Pasteurellaceae. The main objectives of this conference are to 1) promote information exchange regarding recent research conducted on members of the family Pasteurellaceae; 2) foster interaction and collaboration between academic and private sector scientists involved in basic, clinical, and taxonomic research on these animal and human pathogens; 3) provide a forum for new investigators to interact with established investigators, and encourage continued work in this field by young researchers. Although the majority of species in the Family Pasteurellaceae are animal pathogens, the inclusion of investigators who work on human pathogens has greatly increased progress on all species through the exchange of information. Interactions with investigators from the private sector have been essential to promote development of vaccines, diagnostics tests, and therapeutics and funding for academic scientists. An important goal of this meeting is to serve as an opportunity for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to interact with established scientists in the field, and to promote their continued work on this group of bacteria. This meeting has relevance to many infectious diseases of global significance, including chronic bronchopulmonary infections, sepsis, meningitis, sexually transmitted diseases, otitis media, and dental/periodontal infections. In addition to brining together clinicians and basic scientists working on these organisms, the meeting also attracts a significant contingent of veterinary microbiologists working with animal diseases sharing pathophysiology with the human agents. Thus, this meeting bridges multiple disciplines to provide opportunity for exchange and development of ideas.
