Bacteriology and Applied Microbiology Sessions

Bacteriology and Applied Microbiology Sessions

Welcome to the structural epicenter of bacterial discovery and applied microbial sciences at IUMS 2026. As part of our multidisciplinary mission, these focused sessions bridge fundamental molecular mechanics with global practical applications, bringing together researchers across the domain of prokaryotic life.

Key Main Learning Outcomes

By participating in these sessions, you will:
  • Decipher bacterial virulence factors, cellular pathogenicity, and genetic mechanisms of infection using functional genomics.
  • Analyze epidemiological patterns of bacterial infections, co-infections, and the global spread of antibiotic resistance.
  • Discover how molecular interactions, intercellular communication, and biofilms shape complex microbial communities.

BAM Sessions - Day 1

Pathogenicity and Virulence Factors

πŸ“… Wed, 04.11.2026 | πŸ•¦ 11:30 - 13:00

This session explores genomic advances that reveal how genetic factors modulate bacterial pathogenicity and establish infections

Epidemiology and Public Health

πŸ“… Wed, 04.11.2026 | πŸ• 14:30 - 16:00

A discussion on bacterial infections in public health, focused on co-infections, vaccinations, and antibiotic resistance

BAM Sessions - Day 2

Microbiome/Microbial Communities: Biofilm and Microbial Interaction

πŸ“… Thu, 05.11.2026 | πŸ• 14:30 - 16:00

This session delves into biofilm formation, intercellular communication, and species interactions within complex microbial assemblages
