Virulence strategies of intracellular pathogens

As the causative agents of infectious diseases, pathogens have been a major threat to human health and survival throughout our history. Among those intracellular, bacterial pathogens have caused a lot of harm. These pathogens have evolved surprising strategies to overcome the host defenses and have even evoleved to replicate in then immune cells that should degrade them. This session will thus the dynamic interplay between the host organism and the infective agent and the streategies they employ.
