Applied Microbiology

Track 2: Cellular and Infection Microbiology

Cellular microbiology is a discipline that binds cell biology and microbiology. Cellular microbiology tries to use pathogenic microbes as inventive tools for cell-biology research, and to allow cell-biology methods to understand the pathogenicity of microbes. Virulence factors and toxins from microbes have been used for decades to develop processes in eukaryotic cells and to study them. It has appeared that applying a purified toxin on a cell does not always provide the complete process, and that understanding the role of the toxin in pathogenicity, the way the toxin promotes the microbe, the way the toxin is produced and the co-evolution of the toxin and its host-cell counterparts, is crucial.

Infection is the invading body tissues of an organism, by disease-causing agents, their amplification, and the reaction of host tissues to these causative agents and the toxins they produce. Host body can fight infections using their immune system.
