The Molecular basis of bacterial infectious diseases

细菌传染病是严重威胁人类健康的疾病，每年造成1000多万人死亡。这个多学科的合作小组正在调查主要致病细菌与其人类宿主之间的复杂相互作用，以确定它们是如何致病的。这些研究将对这一领域的基础知识做出重大贡献。这些信息对于开发更便宜和更有效的疫苗以及新药也是至关重要的。这些都是在21世纪迫切需要的，以减少细菌传染病造成的死亡和疾病。11.

Bacterial infectious diseases are a serious threat to human health, accounting for over 10 million deaths each year. This multidisciplinary collaborative team is investigating the complex interactions between major disease-causing bacteria and their human hosts, in order to determine how they cause disease. These studies will make a major contribution to fundamental knowledge in this field. This information is also essential for the development of cheaper and more effective vaccines, as well as novel drugs. These are urgently needed to reduce death and illness due to bacterial infectious diseases in the 21st century. 11
