The second section deals with the regulation of synthesis of surface components and their role in the colonization of the host and/or of the host immune systems. The third section covers the invasion and intracellular growth of facultative and obligate intracellular parasites. The last section is devoted to studies of the role of bacterial toxic products in pathogenesis.
Microbiologists, pathologists, molecular biologists, and infectious disease researchers; graduate students and teachers in these disciplines; geneticists.
