Microbial resilience: evolutionary strategies of pathogens under stress

Pathogens, like bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites, possess a variety of mechanisms that allow them to thrive even in the face of stressors like temperature shifts, antimicrobial agents, nutrient scarcity, oxidative stress, and immune responses.Understanding the emergence, transmission and maintenance of genetic lineages of pathogenic bacteria and their role in infectious diseases. General microbial ecology and evolution, by combining advanced statistical methods with large-scale genome sequencing and experiments to advance understanding about the drivers of success in bacterial populations.
