Letter from the Program Chairs 

Welcome! 

On behalf of the General Meeting Program Committee, it is our pleasure to 

welcome each of you to Boston, a city rich in history, five-star restaurants 

and world-class museums. We are thrilled to be here in Boston for asm2014, 

the American Society for Microbiology 114th General Meeting, the largest 

and most comprehensive meeting in the field of microbiology. 

At asm2014, expect to stay engaged through presentations by internationally 

recognized experts in our field, esteemed division and award lecturers and 

a group of inspiring young investigators, hand-selected from abstract 

submissions, who will share their latest scientific findings. 

The Meeting officially begins on the evening of Saturday, May 17, at 

the Opening Session, “Microbes in Symbiosis, Signaling, and at Sea” 

featuring Michael T. Laub, Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Lora 

V. Hooper, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center; and ASM 

Lecturer Ove Hoegh-Guldberg, The University of Queensland. These three 

distinguished scientists will provide enriching perspectives on the diverse 

fields of microbiology. 

asm2014 will offer a wide-range of workshops, plenary sessions designed 

to provide cross-cutting, interdisciplinary research currently underway in the 

field; and afternoon symposia that offer in-depth coverage of cutting-edge 

research in particular sub-disciplines. The scientific program also includes 

a remarkable set of sessions that focus on the clinical fields of diagnostic 

microbiology and epidemiology. 

Several other experiences are planned to round out the Meeting, including 

the President’s Forum, “Tomorrow’s Microbiologists: Discovery-Based 

Research Courses for Freshman Undergraduates”; Learning Labs 

(new this year), Special Interest Sessions, and more than 2,800 posters that 

will be displayed in the Poster Hall. We encourage you to spend time in the 

Exhibit Hall to check out the latest tools and technology in microbiology and 

interact with the exhibitor community. Also take advantage of the unique 

opportunity to “Meet the Speakers” from the day’s plenary session during 

one of the three Happy Hours scheduled from 4:45 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. on 

Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. 

The scientific program promises to deliver fresh topics, leading-edge science 

and exciting challenges that will shape the next-generation of microbiology 

and microbiologists. We sincerely thank you for your continued support and 

once again, welcome you to asm2014. Enjoy the meeting and enjoy your 

time in Boston.

Engaging students in research experiences 

early in their education boosts retention 

of college students in STEM disciplines. 

Consequently, several expert panels have 

recommended making research experiences 

broadly available to first- and second-year 

college students. Research courses not only 

promote retention and activate interest in the 

sciences, but can also advance the research 

agenda. Although not all disciplines are well 

suited to engaging novice students in authentic 

research, microbiology is rich in possibilities.

HIGHLIGHTS 

Quiz Busters: So You Think 

You Know Microbiology 

TUESDAY, MAY 20 

2:00 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. | Meeting Room 253B 

This is the ultimate test of knowledge for the 

clinical microbiologist. Four teams representing 

regional microbiology societies will vie for 

the title of “Expert” as they answer questions 

on current infectious disease problems, 

outbreaks, taxonomy, and identification 

methods. The quiz will cover case studies and 

diagnostic puzzles that supervisors and lab 

directors should be able to solve. This question 

and answer format will allow the audience to 

test their knowledge of what’s new in clinical 

microbiology. Quiz questions are intended to 

present real-life problems and reflect current 

clinical and public health infectious disease 

issues. Lessons learned from teaching points 

and discussion can be applied to their laboratory 

testing.

Speakers by Topic: 

6:30 p.m. – 7:15 p.m. 

Microbes analysis from genome annotation 

to metabolic modeling 

William Riehl, Ph.D. 

Software Developer, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, 

Berkeley, CA. 

Steps to building a metabolic model reconciled with experimental 

growth data and predicting growth under new conditions. 

7:15 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. 

Microbial communities analysis and approaches to modeling 

Folker Meyer, Ph.D. 

Computational Biologist, Argonne National Laboratory, 

Argonne, IL 

Demonstrating the analysis of a large set of community 

samples extracting microbial species and functions that vary 

between samples. Comparisons of metabolic modeling approaches 

will also be presented. 

Program Overview 

We will present two analysis pipelines that demonstrate how 

KBase can help researchers collaborate, and perform complex 

analyses. 

Achieving a systems-level understanding of biology will enable 

researchers to predict and ultimately design how biological 

systems will function under certain conditions. A collaborative 

computational environment is needed to bring researchers 

together so they can share and integrate large, heterogeneous 

datasets and readily use this information to develop predictive 

models that drive scientific discovery. 

We will introduce KBase (DOE Systems Biology Knowledgebase), 

an open-source, open-architecture framework for 

reproducible and collaborative computational systems biology. 

KBase’s primary scientific aim is to integrate multiple types 

of functional data towards increasingly specific models of 

metabolic and regulatory behavior of microbes, plants and 

communities. We have brought together data and tools that allow 

probabilistic modeling of gene function, which can be used 

in turn to produce experimentally testable models of cellular 

metabolism and gene regulation. 

6:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. 


An overview of critical considerations in blood culture, to optimize 

recovery, reduce TTD and drive appropriate antibiotic therapy. 

With the increased emphasis on antibiotic stewardship and cost 

containment in healthcare, it is now more important than ever to 

ensure you are getting the best results from your blood cultures. 

At this symposium, longstanding best practices, as well as new 

considerations, will be reviewed. New rapid testing options, direct 

from positive blood cultures, will also be explored. (PACE credits 

will be offered.)

with global warming. 

5 Hour Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing 

Directly from Positive Blood Cultures 

Supported by Accelerate Diagnostics 

ACCELERATE 

12:00 p.m. – 12:45 p.m. 

Exhibit Hall 


Lunch will be provided 

Speakers: 

Donna M. Wolk, M.H.A., Ph.D., D(ABMM) 

System Director, Clinical Microbiology, Geisinger Medical 

Laboratories 

Connie S. Price, M.D. 

Chief, Division of Infectious Diseases, Denver Health 

Medical Center 


Antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) results are trusted by 

clinicians to help target effective therapy for patients with serious 

infections. However, conventional ID/AST methods take 36-48 

hours to produce actionable results, forcing clinicians to prescribe 

empiric therapy that is often inappropriate or unnecessarily 

broad-spectrum. 

The goal of the presentation is to introduce a revolutionary 

sample-to-answer platform that provides 1 hour ID and 5 

hour AST direct from samples such as positive blood cultures, 

respiratory specimens and skin and wound swabs. The speakers 

will describe the use of fully-automated microscopy to provide 

fast, quantitative identification and minimum inhibitory concentration 

(MIC) results. In addition, new research data on the 

performance of the platform with positive blood cultures will 

be presented. 

The Rapid Detection of ampC Resistance 

Genes in Gram-negative Bacteria 

Supported by Streck 

1:00 p.m. – 1:45 p.m. 

Exhibit Hall 


Speaker: 

Dr. Nancy D. Hanson, Ph.D. 

Professor and Director of the Center for Research, Anti-Infectives 

and Biotechnology, Department of Medical Microbiology and 

Immunology at Creighton University 


Infections caused by organisms producing plasmid-mediated 

AmpC β-lactamases are associated with therapeutic failure. 

Plasmid-mediated ampC genes are most often found in isolates 

of Escherichia coli, Klebsiella spp., and Salmonella spp. 

Identification of the resistance mechanisms responsible for the 

susceptibility pattern of a clinical isolate can help guide therapy 

and can be important for surveillance and hospital infection control 

practices. No CLSI guidelines are in place for the detection 

of plasmid-mediated AmpC β−lactamases. The gold standard for 

AmpC detection is an end-point multiplex PCR assay previously 

designed by our laboratory (Perez JCM 2002). In this presentation 

a new methodology using rapid amplification PCR technology will 

be introduced for the amplification of plasmid-mediated ampC 

genes within 15 minutes. Improvements to the original assay 

include 1) synthesis and combination of controls from 6 individual 

control vials to 2 control vials, 2) the addition of an internal control 

to monitor DNA extraction and amplification, and 3) the use of 

a primer master mix which combines all the primers in one tube 

decreasing the individual primer additions from 14 to 1 for each 

sample. These improvements decrease set-up time and potential 

pipetting errors with the use of consolidated controls and a 

primer master mix.

Speaker: 

Michel Cannieux, Ph.D., M.B.A., 

Integrated DNA Technologies, Product Commercialization 


Gene cloning using PCR is a well-established and effective 

technique when constructing genes using native DNA 

sequences. However, when modifying or assembling novel 

genes, traditional PCR methods can be very inefficient. This 

often leads researchers to either assemble the new sequence 

de novo using oligonucleotides or they turn to a gene synthesis 

service provider to generate such constructs. Integrated DNA 

Technologies (IDT) now offers in addition to a standard gene 

synthesis service: a novel, rapid, and reliable method to build 

and clone the genes you need at a fraction of the cost of full 

gene synthesis services, using gBlocks. gBlocks ® Gene Fragments 

are double-stranded, sequence-verified DNA blocks 

up to 2kb base pairs. Their high sequence fidelity and rapid 

delivery time make gBlocks Gene Fragments ideal for a range 

of biology applications, including easy assembly of multiple 

gene fragments to reliably generate larger gene constructs. The 

goal of this workshop is to enable the bench scientist to use 

gBlocks to easily and rapidly construct novel DNA sequences 

using the Gibson Assembly Method. Products, cloning protocols, 

and applications will be discussed in addition to troubleshooting 

recommendations.

Speakers by topic: 

Selective Depletion of Contaminating Vertebrate Host DNA 

from Microbiome Samples 

Erbay Yigit, Ph.D. 

New England Biolabs, Inc. 

Although total microbiome DNA sequencing is substantially more 

informative than 16S rRNA analysis, for some sample types sequencing 

remains cost-prohibitive or even technically infeasible due 

to host DNA contamination that overwhelms the microbiome DNA. 

To address this challenge, we developed a magnetic bead-based 

method, based on CpG methylation density, to separate host DNA 

from microbial DNA, while maintaining microbial diversity and relative 

abundance. Utility of this method with a variety of challenging 

samples will be discussed. 

Metagenomics of the Cystic Fibrosis Lung 

Yan Wei Lim 

Rohwer Lab, San Diego State University 

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder that leads to dense and unmovable 

mucus in the airways. In the lung, a complex polymicrobial 

community becomes established, causing chronic infections, recurrent 

inflammatory episodes, extensive tissue damage, and shortened 

life-span. Here, for the first time, we characterize the microbial 

communities in tissue sections from anatomically distinct regions 

of ex-planted CF lung samples using a metagenomic approach. 

Contaminating host DNA was dramatically reduced to ~ 50% of the 

total sequences, yielding high quality non-human DNA for microbiome 

analysis. Our results indicate that although the CF lung with 

advanced disease is mostly colonized by typical CF pathogens, 

their genetics and spatial distribution are extremely heterogeneous, 

potentially indicating local disease progression. These findings are 

distinct from the higher microbial diversity and richness found in 

patients earlier in disease progression. 



Microbial Identification Using 16S rRNA 

Sequence from the Ion Torrent PGM 

Supported by 

Life Technologies 

12:00 p.m. – 12:45 p.m. 

Exhibit Hall 



Speaker: 

George S. Watts, Ph.D. 

Genomics Shared Service, Co-Director, Arizona Cancer Center, 

Tucson, AZ 


16s rRNA sequence can be useful for identification of microbes 

in applications from clinical infection to environmental 

sampling. However, the appropriate choice of hypervariable 

region(s), analysis methods and interpretation vary by the application. 

Experience and results using the Ion Torrent PGM with 

home-brewed and kit approaches to library preparation and 

sequencing will be discussed along with benchmark data for 

clinical applications.

This half-day workshop will be focused on the analysis of microbial 

communities (16S rRNA amplicon sequences and shotgun metagenomic 

data) using QIIME. Participants will practice using QIIME with a 

small dataset, and explore bioinformatics and data-visualization tools 

with the help of a team of young scientists and experts in the field. 

(Attendees will need to bring their own computers to participate in 

this workshop) 


■ Analyze alpha and beta diversity of 454/illumina barcode sequencing. 

■ Analyze metagenomic data. 

Course Level: Intermediate 

For many scientists who are interested in writing about the history of 

their field, or their personal experiences, new skills and approaches 

may be needed, skills that differ from those involved in writing about 

science itself. Historical research and writing have their methods, 

standards, and conventions, just as much as do the more familiar 

activities of scientific research and writing. For microbiologists who 

wish to undertake such historical work, this workshop provides an 

introduction to the scholarly world of the professional historian of 

science with presentations on archival research, writing techniques, 

and problems of publication. In addition, participants will be encouraged 

to discuss their own projects with the faculty. Workshop leaders 

will include successful scientist-historians, archivists, and academic 

publishers. 


■ Discuss similarities and differences between science writing and 

historical writing. 

■ Identify the major sources of historical data on science and 

scientists. 

■ Distinguish the basic principles of the craft of the historian as 

different from that of the scientist; and know the key venues for 

publication of historical writings on science.

This 3-hours workshop is an introduction to LEAN management philosophy 

and tools meant to prepare pathologists, administrators, and 

technical staff for the realities, challenges and potential successes of 

practicing in a LEAN environment. We share the leadership, management 

and worker requirements for effective implementation and illustrate 

our experiences with reducing waste and rework in the broad 

spectrum of pathology processes within the laboratory environment. 

We also present novel data collection techniques to establish baseline 

states of in-process waste and defects and methods to gauge the 

success of changes from rapid process improvements. We conclude 

with lessons derived from culturally transforming the Microbiology 

Department at Henry Ford Hospital to one where empowered staff 

views the workplace as an opportunity to do the work better in pursuit 

of a ‘zero defect’ performance goal. 


■ Describe and implement effective process improvements based on 

manufacturing based production principle. 

■ Identify unique measurement tools based on the scientific method 

of data collection to identify and analyze defective processes in the 

Microbiology laboratory. 

■ Apply process improvements by teams of empowered workers for 

the successful transformation to implement LEAN as a continuously 

learning, evolving and improving.

Diseases Lab., Richmond, CA 

Laboratory diagnosis of mycobacterial diseases is changing rapidly. 

Most of the world relies upon a method developed by Robert 

Koch 131 years ago for the detection of M. tuberculosis and drugs 

developed 40 years ago for therapy. There are now FDA approved 

tests for molecular detection of M. tuberculosis and one for detection 

of rifampin resistance from clinical specimens. The detection 

of interferon gamma is being used to supplement or replace PPD 

testing. Rapidly growing Mycobacterium spp. have assumed an evermore 

important role in disease production and isolates have variable 

susceptibility patterns. Detection of resistant isolates of M. tuberculosis 

is critical for appropriate therapy and epidemiology yet few 

laboratories perform rapid antimycobacterial susceptibility testing. 

Modern molecular techniques have identified over 160 new species 

of non-tuberculous Mycobacterium (NTM) organisms that cannot be 

identified by standard phenotypic test methods. This workshop will 

integrate conventional and molecular approaches for the detection 

and identification of Mycobacterium spp. Changes in taxonomy will 

be discussed as will new approaches to antimycobacterial susceptibility 

testing. Clinical cases will be used to highlight interesting issues. 

A discussion of Actinomycetes that are increasingly difficult to identify 

will be included. 


■ List the most common clinically relevant species of Mycobacterium 

and their epidemiology. 

■ Evaluate new and current tests for the detection of M. tuberculosis 

from clinical specimens. 

■ Evaluate conventional, molecular and mass spectrometry 

approaches to the identification of Mycobacterium spp. and for 

identification of Actinomycetales. 

■ Discuss the use of the interferon gamma test and the differences 

between it and PPD testing for the detection of latent tuberculosis 

including the validation process and potential need for an 

indeterminant/gray zone.

The workshop will introduce scientists new to the microbial genomics 

field to the concepts of basic genome sequence analysis. It will guide 

participants through the bioinformatic steps involved in genome assembly, 

gene finding, functional annotation, and comparative genome 

analysis. During the workshop participants will run example analyses 

from their own laptop computers using freely available bioinformatics 

resources, i.e. the open access CloVR tool for automated sequence 

analysis pipelines and the DIAG compute cloud for large-scale data 

processing. Upon completion of this workshop participants will be 

able to run similar microbial genome analyses from any desktop 

computer connected to the Internet without requiring additional 

local bioinformatics software or hardware support. The workshop is 

modeled on the well-established and highly popular IGS Genomics 

workshop that has been held at the Institute for Genome Sciences for 

many years (http://ae.igs.umaryland.edu/cgi/workshop_info.cgi). 




■ Discuss the important steps involved in microbial genome 

sequence assembly, annotation and comparative analysis.

Viruses are fundamental to ecosystems ranging from oceans and 

sediments to plants and humans with impacts ranging from mortality 

and horizontal gene transfer to metabolic reprogramming. However, 

our ability to study them has been bottlenecked by the lack of (i) 

ecologically relevant isolates resulting in ‘unknowns’ dominating 

culture-independent surveys and (ii) rigorously evaluated sample-tosequence 

pipelines coupled to community-available informatic tools 

to generate and make sense of complex viral metagenomic datasets. 

Fortunately this is changing, and rapidly. New tools are emerging that 

will democratize the tremendous discovery potential of viral metagenomics. 

This all-day ASM workshop will introduce these emerging 

tools and empower a new generation of microbiologists to “see” 

hidden viruses in datasets ranging from viral metagenomes in diverse 

environments to microbial datasets from single cell and community 

genomics projects. 


■ Utilize diverse publicly available tools for mining sequence datasets 

for viruses. 

■ Assess boutique viral databases to better identify viruses of bacteria, 

archaea and eukaryotes. 

■ Recognize rigorous viral informatics.

Disturbance, Adaptation, and Selection Drive Greenhouse 

Gas Production by Terrestrial Microorganisms 


Microorganisms are important drivers of many basic processes in 

ecosystems, including the production of oxygen that we breathe, the 

fixing and recycling of nutrients for plant growth, the break down of 

toxic or unwanted substances. In many ways they are relevant to our 

health, and the status of the environment in which we live. In the past 

decades, combinations of various tools and technologies from the 

gene to the ecosystem scale have helped to improve our understanding 

of these processes and the role that some microorganisms play. 

But one of the big challenges in microbial ecology remains to better 

describe, quantify and predict the many feed-back loops between 

our own changing use of and impact on Earth’s ecosystem, and the 

microbial processes shaping Earth and our lives. This session explores 

the dynamics of microbial functions in terrestrial, aquatic and 

human environments and their link to anthropogenic pressures such 

as climate and ocean warming, land and water use, global traffic, 

resource limitation. The speakers will visualize and discuss exciting 

case studies that highlight microbial responses and feedback mechanisms 

to global change. The integrative and interdisciplinary studies 

presented include aspects of health, agriculture, biodiversity, climate, 

blue and green growth, in which humans and microbes interact 

directly or indirectly. Methods introduced demonstrate how microbial 

ecology of today and tomorrow combines insight into small scale 

microbial processes with global scale surveys and data bases, remote 

sensing, and simulation by Earth system models. A key aspect of the 

session is to address gaps in the current knowledge as to the impact 

of microbial dynamics on ecosystem functions and services, and 

anthropogenic factors driving these.

Bacterial cells coordinate population behavior, biofilm formation and 

pathogenesis through a complex interchange of chemical messengers. 

This chemical language is diverse, and underlies cell-to- cell 

communication within bacterial and bacterial-host associations. The 

ability to monitor host and bacterial chemical signals, and nutrient 

sources and combine this information with a sense of the host physiological 

state as cues for differential gene regulation and niche adaptation 

is important for pathogenic bacteria to correctly and precisely 

program the expression of their virulence repertoire. Many bacterial 

pathogens sense host and bacterial produced chemical signals to 

program virulence gene expression. In this colloquium one will learn 

how through new methodologies, it is now possible to map and monitor 

changes in the chemistry landscape during bacterial-bacterial and 

bacterial-host associations. 


■ Identify different types of chemical communication amongst 

bacterial cells. 

■ Describe the coordination of community behavior in bacterial 

biofilms and other types of communities. 

■ Discuss chemical signaling in host-bacterial associations,

Helping Diverse Students Transition from Undergraduate 

to Graduate Classes: An Intensive, Inquiry-Based 

Laboratory Course 

Alison Gammie; Princeton Univ., Princeton, NJ 

The pace of discovery in microbiology continues to accelerate, with 

new sequencing and imaging technologies allowing questions to be 

answered that would not even have been asked 10 years ago. The 

implications of these discoveries have ramifications throughout science. 

Soon it may seem incredible that organismal biology was ever 

taught without reference to the microbial partners that every organism 

relies upon or that climate science was ever taught without reference 

to the microbial world that is responsible for driving nutrient cycles. 

At the same time, advances in the science of education and learning—combined 

with an ever expanding menu of ways to package 

and convey information—mean that new teaching approaches can 

be evaluated for effectiveness, disseminated, and put into practice 

more easily than ever before. How can microbiology capitalize on this 

moment of opportunity to revolutionize microbiology education—ideally 

leading the way for other science educators? What have empirical 

studies taught us about how people learn, what attracts students 

to the sciences, and what keeps them there? How can undergraduate 

microbiology education, even in major research universities, be 

transformed from passive knowledge transfer into an active, creative 

experience? How can the culture of research be changed so that 

teaching is seen as an integral part of being a successful scientist? 

How can the essential role of microbes be incorporated as a central 

theme in biology education? Every microbiologist, at every career 

stage, has a stake in the quality of microbiology education. Whether 

you already teach biology, are considering a career in teaching, 

mentor graduate students, or simply want to know more about how 

microbiology is being taught in effective and innovative ways, you will 

be richly rewarded by the talks in this session.

archaea compared to bacteria and eucaryotes. 

■ Recognize the potential of archaeal research to provide new 

directions in biotechnology and energy research.

Archaeon 

Michael W. W. Adams; Univ. of Georgia, Athens, GA 

Archaea were recognized by Carl Woese in 1977 as a specific phylogenetic 

group at the highest taxonomic level, of rank equivalent to the 

classical bacteria and eukaryotes. Although Woese’s methods and 

conclusions initially were controversial, the concept proved sound: 

the distinctness of Archaea is now overwhelmingly supported by 

whole genome analyses and manifold biochemical studies. Moreover, 

the properties of the archaeal information-processing machineries, as 

well as phylogenetic results, testify to a specific relationship of this 

domain with eukaryotes. While Woese initially brought together phylogenetically 

a few odd and little-known organisms such as extreme 

thermophiles, methanogens and extremely halophilic microbes, the 

third domain of life is now recognized as a prominent component in 

all environments on Earth. Archaeal physiological traits are crucial for 

processes such as global element cycling and production of greenhouse 

gases. The articulation of Archaea as a fundamental taxon, 

distinct from studied biological forms, opened up entirely new fields 

of discovery for biochemistry, genetics and molecular biology that 

continue to expand today and influence research fields as different as 

eukaryotic cell biology, microbial physiology and nano-/biotechnology. 

This session will explore the recognition and current status of archaeal 

molecular biology, metabolic properties and ecological impact, 

and will reflect on the place of archaea in the early evolution of life. It 

also will give insights into the excellent genetic tools developed for 

model organisms and provide a glimpse into future arenas of archaeal 

research, including renewable energy sources and human health.

In recent years, there has been a renewed interest in what microbes 

can eat, what microbes can make, and why. Metabolism is truly fundamental 

to microbial growth and survival, as microbes adapt nutrient 

utIlization and product formation based on environmental changes. 

Metabolic plasticity is a key adaptation for pathogenic microbes, as 

these metabolic changes are clearly linked to success and survival 

during infection. This session will highlight the diversity of microbial 

metabolism and its regulation. A particular emphasis will be how and 

why a wide range of human pathogens, from bacteria to apicomplexan 

parasites, regulate metabolic processes to contribute to disease.

Donna Wolk; Geisinger Hlth. Sys., Danville, PA 

Sepsis is an unusual systemic response to infection, which is often 

local and does not necessarily involve pathogens. Cultures are often 

negative, and why sepsis occurs in some people with infection 

and not others is still a mystery. This symposium will discuss new 

attempts to detect the presence of microorganisms in patients with 

sepsis, review the utility of markers of the immune response for 

diagnosis and stratification, and describe new ways to combine both 

approaches so that patients with sepsis can be better identified and 

treated. After the session, participants should be motivated to implement 

some of these new approaches to diagnosis and management 

of this common and serious disorder in their own institutions. 


■ Outline the two phases of sepsis that patients usually experience. 

■ Describe at least two benefits and two challenges of molecular 

detection of microbes in patients with sepsis.

Hepatitis C, Helicobacter pylori, and tick borne emerging infectious 

diseases. Better understanding of clinical features and diagnostic

Robert A. Bonomo; Case Western Reserve Univ., Cleveland, OH 

Antibiotics have saved millions of lives, but these drugs are losing 

their effectiveness because of antimicrobial resistance. One of the 

greatest threats that we face today is the spread of infectious diseases 

due to bacteria that have become completely resistant to all of 

the available antimicrobial agents. This is already being seen in parts 

of South Africa, the Indian subcontinent and Asia with the spread of 

multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR TB) and extensively drugresistant 

tuberculosis (XDR TB). XDR TB has emerged worldwide as 

a threat to public health and TB control, raising concerns of a future 

epidemic of virtually untreatable TB. Another threat is the spread of 

carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacilli. The Centers for Disease 

Control and Prevention has called carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae 

(CRE) “nightmare bacteria” that post a “triple threat,” 

because the organisms are resistant to nearly all antibiotics, they kill 

up to half of those infected, and they are capable of spreading their 

resistance to other bacteria. CRE are extremely difficult to detect by 

conventional methods in the microbiology laboratory and may even 

be difficult to detect in a modern molecular laboratory. The speakers 

in this symposium will present the latest findings on the epidemiology 

of both multi-drug resistant Gram-negative bacilli and MDR/XDR 

TB as well as descriptions of outbreaks and efforts to contain these

Second messengers regulate a variety of bacterial behaviors, and 

these small intracellular signals must themselves be dynamically 

controlled in order to direct responses that are appropriate in the local 

environment. Accordingly, the synthesis and degradation of these 

signal molecules must be coordinated and controlled in response to 

conditions. Speakers in this session will describe a variety of bacterial 

second messengers that regulate processes ranging from sporulation 

to interacting with Eukaryotic hosts. Recent advances in our understanding 

of how second messenger levels are modulated to reflect 

environmental conditions will be emphasized. 


■ Describe different second messenger molecules that modulate 

bacterial behaviors. 

■ Compare mechanisms by which second messenger levels are 

controlled in bacteria. 

■ Discuss how bacteria use small molecules to coordinate responses 

to their local environment.

Culturomics: Don’t Miss with Culture 

Didier Raoult; Aix-Marseille Univ., Marseille, France 

Dogmas die difficult deaths. This session will explore concepts 

about biologic systems that become established, incorporated into 

textbooks as unchallenged truths and blithely repeated in papers 

and talks, when, in reality, the dogma is markedly contradicted by 

existing observations. Dogmas differ from controversies, a necessary 

part of ongoing scientific discourse, in that dogmas are often invoked 

without challenge, cited without references or references are provided 

to a generic review or textbook chapter, and become “… principles 

or sets of principles laid down by an authority as incontrovertibly 

true” (Wikipedia). Dogmas in biology often refer to the essentiality 

of some system’s role and function, ignoring that individuals lacking 

that function are overall fully healthy. The germ theory of disease had 

to contend with dogmas about miasmas and supernatural causes of 

infection. More recently, considerable effort had to go into dispelling 

the dogma that stomach ulcers were due to stress and similar factors, 

when, as we now know, it was primarily an infection due to Helicobacter 

pylori. In this session, historical and extant dogmas that have 

a significant basis to be challenged will be discussed, basing the 

challenges on data and clinical findings incompatible with the supposed 

incontrovertible nature of the dogma. The session will provide 

attendees with the opportunity to question and reassess how they 

view theirs and other’s research wherein the degree to which the data 

support a conclusion is predicated on an underlying dogma, but the 

data about the dogma often say “it ain’t so.” 


■ Assess how dogmas develop about biological systems and the 

difficulty in dispelling them once established. 

■ Identify examples of dogmas that were either successfully 

dispelled or should be but remain established. 

■ Apply an educational opportunity indicating the need to investigate, 

properly cite and distinguish between data-driven investigations 

and often classic but inaccurate textbook concepts about 

biologic systems.

How Many Eukaryotic Microbes Are There in the World 

Oceans? Exploring the Frontiers of Total Marine Protist 

Biodiversity Using Next-Gen Sequencing and Imaging 

Tools 

Colomban De Vargas; CNRS, Roscoff, France 

Eukaryotic microbes or “protists” have evolved into a bewildering 

diversity of types over the last billion years, whose functional and 

ecological complexity constitutes one of the main knowledge gaps 

in modern Biology. With their big genomes -most protistan taxa hold 

many more genes than us humans!- and intricate cell structures, their 

complex life-cycles involving sex, and their amazing ability to build up 

all kinds of microbial symbioses, protists became soon critical actors 

in planetary ecology, e.g. by massively impacting human populations 

(malaria), climate (the oceans carbon pump), and biogeochemical cycling. 

The symposium “Ecology of Eukaryotic Microbes” will illustrate 

fundamental features of protistan ecology in human body, terrestrial 

soils, and global oceans. Besides offering an overview of the Earth 

protistan ecological biodiversity, the session aims at highlighting 

novel and exciting eukaryotic cells functions (biomineralization, symbioses 

sensu lato, allelopathy, behavior, etc.) of critical importance for 

all sorts of ecological systems 


■ Collect state-of-the-art knowledge on overall patterns of ecological 

biodiversity in eukaryotic microbes on land and in the oceans. 

■ Explain fundamental differences and similarities in ecological biocomplexities 

of human versus terrestrial versus marine eukaryotic 

microbes. 

■ Realize which major knowledge-gaps are still to be unveiled in 

ecological and evolutionary protistology.

The Influence of Spatial Structure on Cellular Activity 

of Methane-Based Syntrophic Associations 

Victoria J. Orphan; California Inst. of Tech., Pasadena, CA 

Symbiotic interactions between diverse microorganisms, plants and 

animals exist in nearly every major biome on earth. In many environments, 

these intimate interactions enhance productivity, influence 

biogeochemical cycling of elements, and create niche space for 

other organisms. These interdependent associations offer numerous 

examples of evolutionary innovation and adaptation to the environment, 

including sulfide and methane vents in the deep sea, coral reefs 

and the human body. Recent research across disciplines has revealed 

versatility in the identity and role of the symbiont that can respond 

dynamically to environmental change and in turn shape the behavior 

of the host and ecology of the partnership. In this session, we will 

expand upon these topics and explore the role of diverse symbiotic 

systems (microbe-microbe, microbe-animal and microbe-plant) in an 

ecosystem context. 


■ Describe how the environment influences the form and function of 

symbiotic associations. 

■ Define current technical approaches to the study of symbiotic 

systems. 

■ Identify some of the principal symbiotic associations in the study 

of the symbiosis-environment interface.

Partnering Phagosomes and Inflammasomes 

in Host Defense 

Lynda M. Stuart; Benaroya Res. Inst., Seattle, WA 

Eukaryotic cells possess innate immune mechanisms that sense, recognize 

and target invading microbes, whether vacuolar or cytosolic, 

to lysosomal degradation, ensuring sterility of host cell intracellular 

compartments and orchestrating inflammatory responses to the infection. 

Major advances in our knowledge of innate sensors and effector 

processes have recently been made, highlighting the roles of, and 

relationships between, pattern recognition receptors (TLRs, NLRs), 

inflammasomes, phagosome maturation and antibacterial autophagy. 

In spite of this complex network of defense mechanisms, intracellular 

parasites have evolved the capacity to ensure their survival, 

persistence and proliferation within cells of the infected host, through 

avoidance, inhibition or even subversion of innate immune pathways. 

By focusing on the cellular aspects of pathogen interactions with 

innate immune processes, this symposium will explore latest developments 

in the areas of pathogen recognition and targeting to autophagy, 

inflammasome-mediated regulation of antimicrobial effector 

mechanisms, and pathogen avoidance, modulation or subversion of 

intracellular innate immune pathways. Participants in this symposium 

will learn about the nature and regulation of cellular innate immune 

mechanisms that control intracellular bacterial pathogens and how, 

in turn, bacteria have adapted to counteract or exploit these innate 

surveillance processes. 


■ Compare general concepts of cellular innate immune mechanisms 

against intracellular bacteria. 

■ Interpret how innate immune sensing of pathogens mediates cellular 

antibacterial processes. 

■ Determine that intracellular bacterial pathogens have evolved 

mechanisms to counteract and/or subvert cellular innate immunity.

Quantitative Analyses of Non-Growing Bacteria 

in Microfluidic Devices 

Nathalie Q. Questembert-Balaban; The Hebrew Univ. of Jerusalem, 

Jerusalem, Israel 

It has been estimated that ~60% of the microbial biomass exists 

in a quiescent state. Bacteria including Mycobacteria tuberculosis 

and Chlamydia trachomatis exist in states of minimal metabolic 

activity that are important to their pathogenesis and the ability of a 

wide range of bacteria to enter into non-growing but viable states 

is thought to facilitate their survival in the face of environmental 

challenges. In addition, bacteria of different species including the 

important pathogen Staphylococcal aureus can form “persisters” 

which are cells in a state of non-growth that are much less sensitive 

to antibiotics and may be a major cause of chronic infections. For all 

of these organisms, key questions include: How is metabolic quiescence 

initiated? How is it maintained? And how is growth reinitiated? 

While there are clear differences in the morphological aspects of 

these quiescent states, the conservation of the basic mechanisms of 

metabolic activity such as protein translation suggests that there may 

be similarities in the underlying mechanisms of quiescence. The aim 

of this session will be to explore these possible similarities. 





■ Explain the similarities and differences in the quiescent states of 

different bacteria. 

■ Determine the mechanisms underlying these states. 

■ Discuss the consequences of this state for bacterial pathogenesis.

Bradley M. Tebo; Oregon Hlth. & Sci. Univ., Portland, OR 

Metals are critical components of microbial metabolism as micronutrients 

required for enzyme cofactors (e.g. Fe, Cu, Mn, Co, Ni, Mo), 

as alternative electron acceptors in anaerobes that can respire solid 

mineral phases (e.g. Fe, Mn, Cr, As, U), and as electron donors in 

lithotrophs. This session will provide an overview of the history of 

microbial interactions with metals, and will highlight recent advances 

in identification of metalloenzymes and their expression in uncultured 

microbes. Featured topics will include dissimilatory metal reduction 

and mechanisms of electron transport via multiheme cytochromes 

and multicopper oxidases, metalloenzyme distribution in metagenomes, 

and techniques for imaging trace metals in microbes at single 

cell resolution.

Thermophiles, Halophiles and Mars: Aerobic Carbon 

Monoxide Oxidizers Going to Extremes 

Gary M. King; Louisiana State Univ., Baton Rouge, LA 

Methane (CH4), the simplest organic molecule, is an essential 

component of the global carbon cycle. It is one of the most potent 

greenhouse gases. Today, methane is not only one of the major 

contributors for climate change it is the primary target for near-term 

climate regulation. Biological methane utilization (methanotrophy) is 

one of the major controls of the methane budget. Methanotrophy has 

been previously discussed in terms of specific functional metabolic 

modules that thought to be relatively well understood. Recent efforts 

in characterization of C1-cycles in aerobic and/or anaerobic environments 

uncover new metabolic arrangements for microbial methane 

utilization. These new discoveries continue to challenge our understanding 

of biochemistry, biology and evolution of methanotrophy as 

one of the core microbial functions. At the same time, they open-up 

new directions for methane mitigation and provide a multitude of 

potential applications for biotechnology. Carbon monoxide (CO) is 

one of the most important reactants in the troposphere, and contributes 

indirectly to radiative forcing. The dynamics of CO, like methane, 

are determined in part by bacteria in terrestrial and aquatic system. 

The distribution and diversity of CO oxidizers remain largely speculative. 

However, new observations suggest that they occur in extreme 

environments, in some cases as dominant members of the microbiota, 

and are represented by both Bacteria and Archaea. Results from 

analyses of halophilic CO oxidizers suggest that some representatives 

of the group could survive on contemporary Mars in surface or nearsurface 

brines using CO as an energy source. 


■ Highlight new discoveries in microbial methane utilization: from a 

single cell to ecosystems. 

■ Provide molecular and evolutionary perspectives to the diversity of 

C1-pathways. 

■ Outline newly emerging strategies for methane mitigation and 

methane-based biocatalysis.

This session will examine healthcare outcomes associated with 

rapid diagnostic microbiology testing. In view of the added cost of 

purchasing or performing rapid identification and/or susceptibility 

test methods, the question arises, as to the impact of these tests on 

patient outcomes. We assume that these more rapid, and generally 

more expensive methods will allow for improved patient outcomes, 

decreased length of stay, deceleration of antibiotic therapies, etc., but 

data on these issues are lacking and only beginning to be published. 

This session will look at how to design a study to evaluate the effects 

that rapid laboratory testing has on patient outcomes, how this 

design can include antimicrobial stewardship, the utilization of this 

design in a recent published study, and how to utilize this information 

to sell new technology to your administrators. 


■ Explain the importance of a study that addresses patient 

outcomes. 

■ Design a study to evaluate the effects that rapid laboratory testing

In this interactive, point-counterpoint session clinical and public

maintaining culture and other laboratory techniques in an era of advanced 

molecular diagnostics and budget constraints. The pros and 

cons of using advanced detection and characterization technologies 

versus the need for traditional techniques for public health testing 

and surveillance will be debated. Three main topics will be covered: 

1. The risks and rewards of eliminating viral culture capability in the 

diagnostic virology laboratory. This presentation will discuss the 

role of culture; whether culture is a requirement for validation and 

verification of new molecular methods and how culture may still 

be required in a public health setting for detection of emerging and 

re-emerging viral agents, characterization and surveillance. 2. The 

impact of MALDI-ToF, next-generation sequencing and other newer 

techniques in diagnostic microbiology. This debate will focus on new 

techniques that will impact the ability of the sentinel laboratories to 

detect emerging pathogens and agents of bioterrorism and how this 

will ultimately result in changes to the Sentinel Laboratory Guidelines. 

3. The consequences of utilizing rapid diagnostics such as multiplex 

assays, molecular panels and point-of-care tests on patient care and 

community health. This deliberation will explore different types of 

assays currently available for the detection of a variety of pathogens 

e.g. that cause gastrointestinal, respiratory and sexually-transmitted 

diseases. Speakers will discuss the reliability and cost of these methods 

in diagnosing, treating and monitoring infection. This session is 

intended for clinical and public health microbiologists and the audience 

is encouraged to contribute to the discussion. Attendees will 

learn about new technologies and how these affect patients, health 

care facilities, and the public health system and will be involved in 

developing strategies that can be employed to ensure the right tests 

are performed for their patients and their community.

Disruption of the Blood-Brain Barrier by an Encephalitic 

Virus 

Katherine R. Spindler; Univ. of Michigan Med. Sch., Ann Arbor, MI 

Proper central nervous system (CNS) function is dependent on careful 

regulation of homeostasis of the brain and spinal cord, which have 

nonrenewable cell populations. Disruption of this regulation by microbial 

infection can have serious consequences for health and survival 

of the host organism. Microbial pathogens are able to enter the CNS 

by a variety of means, including direct transport through neurons and 

by breaching the blood-brain barrier (BBB) or the blood-cerebrospinal 

fluid barrier (BCSFB). While the brain once was considered an 

immune-privileged site, it is now clear that activated T-cells cross the 

BBB and BCSFB and perform immune surveillance. Host cell signal 

transduction pathways are exploited by CNS-infecting microbes for 

their entry into the CNS. Thus a balance of microbe-host interactions 

in the CNS determines whether an infection is cleared, becomes 

latent, or is fatal. Talks in this session will address some of the variety 

of ways that microbial pathogens enter and are maintained in the 

CNS, and the circumstances that lead to meningitis and encephalitis. 

Specific genes encoded or induced by microbes contribute to microbial 

entry into the CNS and the infection outcome, and their functions 

in brain infections will be presented. This session should be of interest 

to a general audience interested in host-pathogen interactions for a 

variety of microbial pathogens. 


■ Compare and contrast how various CNS-infecting microbes (e.g., 

bacteria, parasites, fungi, viruses) enter the central nervous system 

(CNS). 

■ Describe host immune responses to CNS pathogens. 

■ Analyze the pathogen strategies for overcoming the host response

Three Heroes of Environmental Microbiology— 

Robert Koch, Sergei Winogradsky and Arthur T. Henrici 

Lawrence J. Shimkets; Univ. of Georgia, Athens, GA 

This lecture will serve as a memorial to Martin Dworkin. An important 

element of bacteriology’s early struggle to establish itself as a distinct 

biological science rather than an adjunct of pathology was the exploration 

of the distribution and role of microbes in the natural environment. 

This lecture, the annual Center for the History of Microbiology/ 

ASM Archives (CHOMA) Lecture, will focus on early developments in 

what later came to be known as environmental microbiology or microbial 

ecology. It will discuss three early contributors: Robert Koch, 

whose demonstration of the relationship between an environmental 

variable (polluted water) and an infectious disease (cholera) was an 

early example of microbial epidemiology; Sergei Winogradsky, whose 

use of enrichment cultures and pioneering work on sulfur oxidizing 

and nitrifying bacteria helped illuminate the vast and dynamic role of 

bacteria in nature; and Arthur T. Henrici, who first understood that in 

natural aquatic communities bacteria flourish on surfaces as well as 

freely in water, thus laying the groundwork for later biofilm studies. 


■ Identify several key scientists and events that contributed to the 

emergence of the field of environmental microbiology/microbial 

ecology. 

■ Discuss how the focus of turn-of-the-century microbiology 

expanded from medical concerns to also include non-medical 

microbiology and the study of beneficial microbes. 

■ Describe how early studies in environmental microbiology/microbial

Multidrug-resistant microbes are emerging public health threats 

worldwide, challenging our present therapeutic repertoire. Drug resistance 

exacerbates disease caused by these “super bugs” resulting in 

serious morbidity for patients and costly hospitalizations. Underserved 

populations are highly susceptible to acquire severe infections 

by multidrug-resistant microbes compared to privileged populations 

due to self-treatment, little etiologic and preventive epidemiologic 

research, and inaccessibility to medical care. Although acquisition of 

antibiotic resistance by microorganisms within these populations is 

multifactorial, the causes often rely on the practices of the individual, 

the environment, and the genetic plasticity of each specific microorganism. 

Therefore, understanding these factors as well as the current 

and potential medical and therapeutic applications are important 

steps in curtailing the development of multidrug-resistant microbes, 

aiming to reduce diseases and mortality in underserved populations. 


■ Identify relevant practices aimed at limiting drug resistant microbes 

in underserved populations.

Impact of Altered Precipitation Patterns on Carbon 

Cycling Dynamics in Great Prairie 

David D. Myrold; Oregon State Univ., Corvallis, OR 

Weather and climate have always been an important factor in many 

aspects of microbial ecology. However, as we experience more 

extreme changes in weather and shifting baselines in climate, it is 

increasingly important to have an understanding of microbial roles 

in climate processing and vice versa. In this session, we will explore 

new research into how climate affects microbial ecology in a variety 

of environmental settings. From land, water, tropics and poles; we 

will examine the vital role that microbes play in the production and 

removal of critical climate sensitive gases. 


■ Describe the complex effects of changing climate and weather on 

microbial ecology. 

■ Examine the climate impacts by geography from tropical to polar 

microbiology. 

■ Recognize the role of microbes in cycles of climate sensitive gases 

(methane, N2O, etc.).

The Challenges to Training Diagnostic Microbiologists 

in Asia 

Ellen Jo Baron; Emerita, Stanford Univ., Stanford, CA 

The number of international members of ASM has increased over the 

years, approaching 30% of the membership. Many of these microbiologists 

come from developing nations, where the techniques and 

resources we take for granted in the U.S. are either hard to access or 

unavailable. Additionally, cultural issues can impact the role of female 

microbiologists in unique ways. This session will not only describe 

these issues, but it will highlight the resourcefulness of women microbiologists 

as they work to overcome these challenges and barriers to 

generate the necessary clinical diagnostic information and research 

data that positively impact their nation. By including all our voices in 

this session, we hope to identify ways in which we, as a society, can 

assist microbiologists in other nations to cross such barriers. 


■ Identify the challenges facing microbiologists in developing 

countries. 

■ Describe the strategies that result in productive microbiology 

despite the challenges of working in a developing country. 

■ Identify activities that could promote the role of women microbiologists 

in developing countries.

Jeffery Errington; Newcastle Univ., Newcastle upon Tyne, 


Microbial cells come in all shapes and sizes, and may even adopt 

different morphologies depending on environmental conditions. Morphology 

is directly tied to function in many contexts including metabolic 

cooperation in multi-species microbial consortia, biofilm development, 

and disease pathogenesis in bacterial and fungal infections. 

In recent years, our understanding of the molecular determinants of 

cell size and shape has steadily increased. This session focuses on 

recent developments in the study of mechanisms that govern cell 

size and shape. Lectures in this plenary cover a range of topics in the 

area of microbial cell morphology, including the role of the cell wall 

in the control of bacterial shape and growth, evidence for primitive 

forms of cell replication in bacteria lacking cell walls, the coordination 

of microbial metabolism with cell size, the regulation of morphological 

transitions in pathogenic fungi, and bacterial endosymbiosis as a 

driver of eukaryotic cell size. 


■ Explain the molecular mechanisms underlying how cell size and 

shape may arise. 

■ Describe how the environment may dictate cell shape and size. 

■ Consider how cell shape maintenance can underlie cell division 

and symbiosis.

with food safety. The plenary session “Farm to Table Microbiology” 

covers important topics relevant to food safety and enteric pathogens 

and will present stimulating areas for discussion. This symposium 

includes presentations from recognized national and international 

leading microbiologists. An ASM Lifetime Achievement Awardee will 

review the last 50 years of microbiology achievements from the stand 

point of his personal career in microbiology. The Division P Lecturer 

will discuss issues related to the emergence of Shiga toxin-producing 

Escherichia coli. A leading scientist from the Public Health Agency

Philippe J. Sansonetti; Inst. Pasteur, Paris, France 

A multitude of microbes surround us and other hosts. Yet only a select 

few microbes are able to establish an association, whether pathogenic 

or symbiotic, with any given host. Sometimes the specificity is 

exquisite with the host enabling a select interaction with one microbe 

and sometimes the specificity is governed at the microbial population 

level. What determines this specificity? In this session, we will explore 

the various parameters at the physiological and molecular levels, 

from both the microbial and host perspective that governs specificity 

in the interaction of bacteria and viruses with their particular hosts. 

The mechanistic basis of host-microbe specificity can also help with 

understanding what provides stability and resilience to host-microbe 

relationships, which will be discussed in this session. Finally, understanding 

host-microbe specificity can have wide-ranging applications, 

from predicting viral zoonosis to understanding the consequences of 

antibiotic exposure. The session will also touch on some of the potential 

applications of understanding host-microbe specificity. 


■ Explain the concept of specificity in host-microbe interactions. 

■ Describe the physiological and molecular determinants of such 

specificity, and how they contribute to the stability of a hostmicrobe

What Is the Tree of Life? 

W. Ford Doolittle; Dalhousie Univ., Halifax, Canada 

Suppose no one had thought up the Theory of Evolution until this 

century, after all that we now know about genetics and genomics of 

macro and microorganisms had already been learned? Would such a 

modern theory resemble the neo-Darwininan synthesis as it came together 

mid-last-century? Or would the bewildering variety of genomic 

architectures of pro- and eukaryotic microbes, the environmental 

sensitivity of their mutational apparatus and their ready adaptation 

to biochemical challenges have led to a more flexible view of the 

evolutionary process? And would the variety of genetic exchange 

mechanisms and the facility with which enormous phylogenetic gaps 

are bridged by them foster a different understanding of evolutionary 

pattern? Certainly any general theory should take on board the fact 

that most of life today is microbial and most of the history of life is 

the history of microbes. Our speakers, each a world leader in her/ 

his discipline, will tackle genome architecture and its rearrangeability, 

mechanisms of mutation and their responsiveness (“directed” or not) 

to environmental stressors, long-term adaptation in the lab and its 

lessons for evolution in the wild, the role of recombination in defining 

bacterial species and the implications of lateral gene transfer for a 

meaningful global phylogenetic tree. Enemies of evolution have made 

much of how modern microbiology challenges “Darwinism”. What 

it really does is strengthen and broaden Darwin’s basic theories, in 

ways which he would surely have found most exciting. 


■ Explain to students and the public how microbial evolution 

challenges and expands evolutionary theory. 

■ Realize the variety of ways in which microbes, including 

pathogens, respond to changes in their environment. 

■ Develop a more nuanced approach to defining bacterial species 

and their classification.

and their interactions with the environment represent a promising 

resource for basic sciences, energy, and medicine among the others. 

However, for their uncultivatable nature the study of most microbial 

species remains a big challenge. This session covers some of the 

promising applications of megagenomics on overcoming the difficulty 

in studying uncultivated bacteria, and in particular provides insights 

in the identification of natural microbial products for medical use, the 

deciphering of microbial ecology, and the microbial physiology.

(273-637e-14) 

Sheldon Campbell; Yale Sch. of Med., New Haven, CT 

Clinical microbiology and public health laboratories require educated 

consumers; providers who order, collect, and interpret laboratory 

results effectively. We will present ways to communicate important 

information to users of clinical microbiology services. 1) Using a 

grant for “innovative teaching”, a website was created from cases 

presented on rounds, with assessments suitable for competencybased 

education. Suitable for users from pathology residents to 

infectious disease fellows, it was used in a public health microbiology 

course, and is endorsed by the IDSA. 2) The Microbiology Diagnostic 

Management Team provides expert group review of significant clinical 

cases and drives followup, integrating findings in patients’ electronic 

record so that caregivers can access interpretive and consultative 

guidance. Benefits include reduction of clinical decision latency, 

improved patient safety, and trainee education in laboratory medicine. 

3) Local, State, and National PHLs have used innovative practices 

(e.g. formation of a State Laboratory Forum, social media) that have 

allowed PHLs to identify customer needs and collaboratively develop 

policies and/or procedures to meet them. 4) There is competition for 

time during the pre-clinical years of medical school, and knowledge 

and skills directly relevant to practice are emphasized. We reorganized 

the microbiology diagnostics sessions. Case-based teaching 

emphasizes diagnostic approaches and limitations and interpretation 

of laboratory data. These revisions improved student evaluations and 

increased attendance. 5) Case-based and small groups are becoming 

dominant modes of teaching in many medical schools, but traditional 

lectures still have a role in that and other settings. We will demonstrate 

how interactive elements and developing a unique and effective 

performance style enhances lectures. Please join us to share some 

strategies for improving the laboratory/provider partnerships. 


■ Utilize and develop Web-based resources, and clinical consultation 

services, to improve the ability of providers to utilize clinical 

microbiology resources more effectively. 

■ Develop and utilize education resources shared by public health 

and partner laboratories. 

■ Evaluate medical student teaching in laboratory and lecture 

settings.

Robert L. Sautter; Carolinas Path. Gp., Charlotte, NC 

The healthcare landscape is changing considerably as labs are becoming 

increasingly integrated, serving multiple hospitals and clinics 

set over relatively large geographic areas. There is lack of consensus 

on the best practices for handling specimen processing and where 

certain ancillary testing services should reside. Should specimens 

be processed and plated at the satellite locations or at the core 

laboratory or perhaps a combination of both? Should blood cultures 

be incubated and Gram stained at satellites or sent directly to core 

laboratories? What is the role for increasing use and availability of 

automation and rapid diagnostic technology in making this decision 

and how do laboratories assure quality in this ever changing environment? 

The speakers will present both approaches as well as some 

that straddle both worlds and discuss the pros and cons of each with 

data supporting what needs to occur to maintain quality for patient 

care. In addition, since institutions are mandating that administrators 




and physicians address length of stay in the hospital setting, what 

impact does centralization of certain lab processes and services 

impact those efforts? These questions are also very important especially 

when institutions respond to the cost ramifications of universal 

healthcare in the United States.

The use of mobile devices, and wireless technology along with online 

systems to improve healthcare and promote public health is increasing 

and rapidly evolving. mHealth is a component of eHealth and is 

defined by the WHO Global Observatory for eHealth as the practice 

of medical and public health supported by mobile devices, such 

as mobile phones, patient monitoring devices, personal digital assistants, 

and other wireless devices. Cell phone-enabled diagnostics 

as mHealth applications is transforming the diagnostic industry, especially 

for infectious diseases and challenges our models of delivery 

of care for patients in both resource-plenty and resource-constrained 

regions. In addition, the use of social media (Twitter, Facebook, blogs) 

and web-based systems to gather and relay information enables the 

rapid, effective, and targeted communication of public health and 

healthcare information and promotes discussion and exchange of 

information and opinions. This open exchange, however, poses some

SEA-PHAGES: Phacts, Phigures, 

and Phellowship

Univ. of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA 

Engaging students in research experiences early in their education 

boosts retention of college students in STEM disciplines. Consequently, 

several expert panels have recommended making research 

experiences broadly available to first- and second-year college 

students. Research courses not only promote retention and activate 

interest in the sciences, but can also advance the research agenda. 

Although not all disciplines are well suited to engaging novice 

students in authentic research, microbiology is rich in possibilities. 

The President’s Forum will highlight two innovative programs that 

successfully integrate authentic, discovery-based research early in 

the undergraduate curriculum. The Science Education Alliance Phage 

Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science (SEA-PHAG- 

ES) program—initiated in 2008—is well established and now includes 

more than 70 institutions, with over 2,000 freshman undergraduates 

in the current year. SEA-PHAGES uses bacteriophage discovery 

and genomics as a platform to directly engage students in authentic 

research, and takes advantage of the vast phage population and its 

immense diversity. The collection of over 650 completely sequenced 

mycobacteriophages generated by SEA-PHAGES offers many 

insights into viral novelty, diversity, and evolution, and SEA-PHAGES 

students have higher rates of retention in STEM. The second 

program, The Small World Initiative (SWI), is a new program that 

responds to the recent antibiotic crisis by crowdsourcing the discovery 

of new antibiotics with freshmen and sophomore students. SWI 

students culture soil microbes, screen for antibiotic activity against 

pathogens, identify the microbes by 16S rRNA sequencing, and 

extract active metabolites. With 26 schools and over 800 students in 

the first year of the program, large numbers of microbes have been 

isolated and screened as potential sources of new antibiotics. 

Audience members will learn about student outcomes and results of 

the SEA-PHAGES program as well as initial results from implementation 

of the Small World Initiative. Additionally, audience members will 

have an opportunity to meet SEA-PHAGES and Small World Initiative 

instructors and students who will be in attendance at the President’s 

Forum. 

Posters from pilot instructors and their students will be displayed in 

the lobby outside of Grand Ballroom East. For presentations, visit the 

Poster Exhibit Hall B on Tuesday, May 20; 10:45 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.

A Novel Role for Cell Polarity Proteins in Innate Immunity 

to Pseudomonas aeruginosa Infection 

Joanne N. Engel; Univ. of California, San Francisco, San Francisco, 

CA 

Host-pathogen interactions have typically been studied through 

microbial infection of two-dimensional (2-D) host cell monocultures 

and/or animal models. Yet 2-D monocultures provide a vastly different 

environment for microbes than the complexity found in mammalian 

tissues, and animal models may not reflect the disease and response 

of the human host. New advances in tissue engineering and regenerative 

medicine can bridge these gaps in infectious diseases research, 

and some researchers are already adapting these advances to their 

studies of viral, bacterial, and parasitic infections. In this session, we 

will learn about the tissue engineering methodologies used to mimic 

biological structures and recapitulate human physiology and pathology. 

We will also learn how researchers are using 3-D tissue culture 

models to answer important, outstanding questions in microbial 

pathogenesis. We hope to have additional short presentations that 

discuss the use of bioengineered tissue culture or other novel model 

systems to study microbial pathogenesis and/or the host response to 

infectious diseases. The intent of this session is to expose attendees 

to the possibilities offered by tissue engineering for progress in 

infectious diseases research. Looking forward, synergistic collaborations 

between experts in these fields can drive advances in basic and 

translational science. 


■ Grasp basic tenets of tissue engineering and understand critical 

components of cell or tissues models. 

■ Explain how tissue engineering methodologies can advance 

studies of microbial pathogenesis. 

■ Apply these concepts to other obstacles, gaps, and questions in 

infectious disease research.

Interpretation of Susceptibility Testing Results in 

Pediatric Patients (273-641e-14) 

James S. Lewis II; Oregon Hlth. and Sci. Univ., Portland, OR 

It is well accepted that children are not miniature adults. The abundance 

of differences in immune system development, microbiota, 

and pathognomonic signs between neonates, children and adults can 

have a significant impact on diagnostic practices in the clinical laboratory. 

Exposures of these age groups to pathogens and the acquisition 

of infectious diseases can differ dramatically. In addition, antimicrobial 

selection and dosage may differ between pediatric and adult 

populations. Despite these differences, current practice guidelines 

available for microbiological workup and susceptibility testing and 

interpretation by the clinical microbiology laboratory is predominantly 

based on studies in adult population, with minimal or no evidencebased 

guidelines available for pediatrics. Currently, many laboratories 

standardize protocols without taking patient age into consideration. 

This session will convince you that special considerations should be 

taking when testing pediatric specimens in your laboratory, from the 

combined perspectives of experts in the fields of pediatric and adult 

microbiology, infectious diseases clinical practice, and pharmacy. 


■ Discuss the differences in the workup of specimens and interpretation 

of diagnostic tests from pediatric and adult patients. 

■ Discuss the differences in the microbiological work up of neonates 

versus other pediatrics. 

■ Discuss the impact of using current CLSI interpretative breakpoints 

on pediatric patients.

Sue Jinks Robertson; Duke Univ., Durham, NC 

Genomic DNA as well as molecular machines operating on it are strikingly 

dynamic in nature. This dynamism is central for genome maintenance, 

reproduction and regulation of its expression. It also assures 

remarkable plasticity, which is at the heart of biological evolution and 

development. On the flip side, inevitable miscommunications between 

multiple dynamic machines produce errors responsible for genome 

instability and, occasionally, disease. This session concentrates on 

DNA transactions that cause genome variability with an emphasis on 

the mechanisms of mutagenesis. The specific topics cover the role of 

translesion DNA polymerases in mutagenesis, cancer and antibiotic 

resistance, the paths to genome instability from repetitive DNA elements 

and the unanticipated crusade of transcription against genome 

integrity. This knowledge allows one to understand the mechanisms 

of genome instability in health and disease, and in the long run, to 

consider new approaches for the prevention and treatment of cancer 

and other human diseases. 


■ Determine the dynamic nature of fundamental DNA transactions. 

■ Recognize the basic principles of mutagenesis.

Nimalie Stone; CDC, Atlanta, GA 

Learn how healthcare associated infection (HAI) surveillance outcomes/definitions 

are designed, modified and are meant to be used. 

Understand the challenges faced by your hospital, public health and 

CMS now that these quality improvement measures are being used 

for public reporting and payments to hospitals. UTIs and pneumonia 

are the second most common infections after skin and soft tissue 

infections and account for more than 15% of infections reported 

in acute care hospitals. Urinary tract cultures are one of the most 

commonly received specimens in the laboratory. The culture results 

can be misinterpreted due to issues with bacterial contamination of 

the specimen during collection, alteration of bacterial growth during 

transport and storage and colonization of the urinary tract with 

bacteria, especially in the elderly. Laboratory urine culture and clinical 

UTI guidelines may not appear to agree with each other and/or may 

be based on the assumption that specimens are collected, stored 

and transported optimally. This can be a source of confusion between 

different members of the interdisciplinary team. The interdisciplinary 

team optimally includes infection preventionists, clinical and laboratory 

experts and requires support from hospital administration. This 

session will seek to provide a detailed history and understanding of 

healthcare associated infection measures reported by the National 

Healthcare Surveillance Network guidelines (and specifically catheterassociated 

urinary tract infections in various care settings) and 

compare and contrast them to laboratory and clinical guidelines. You 

will have the opportunity to provide input and share concerns with the 

HAI prevention experts and share your microbiology perspective with 

them in order to optimize the understanding and use of guidelines 

as well as facilitate appropriate urine specimen ordering and result 

reporting. We invite you to come and join the dialog. 


■ Describe the history and evolving usage of CDC healthcare-associated 

infection (HAI) surveilance measures. 

■ Explain the importance of microbiologist’s participation in HAI 

surveillance and prevention. 

■ Identify the differences between HAIs as defined by surveillance 

measures, clinical measures, and laboratory testing, using 

catheter-associated urnainry tract infections as a case example.

The rapid emergence of antibiotic resistant pathogens is a major 

public health threat with prominent social and financial impact. The 

broad application of antibiotics in food animal production is considered 

a key risk factor and limiting the uses of antibiotics in food 

animal production has been the primary regulatory strategy to combat 

antibiotic resistance in the European Union. In the USA the issue 

continues to be a topic of hot debate. Emerging evidences from both 

organism-based characterization and ecosystem-based population 

studies revealed additional risk factors in antibiotic resistance development, 

dissemination and persistence, and the connections among 

environmental, food and host microbiota. This symposium includes 

experts from both EU and USA for an update on scientific discoveries, 

especially the roles of the food chain in antibiotic resistance 

ecology, as well as the directions and outcomes of practical antibiotic 

resistance control approaches. The session presents educational 

information for the general scientific audience; it also shares scientific 

data and methods across food, animal, environmental and human 

research, and expert opinion on future development. These topics are 

of importance to field scientists, educators, regulatory agents, human 

and veterinary medical practitioners, as well as food and medical 

industrial scientists. 


■ Describe the impact of antibiotic resistance on food safety, host

The session’s main objective is to bring together a wide variety of topics 

within marine microbial ecology, that offer insights into physiology, 

including adaptations to salinity and oxygen gradients in the deep 

sea, and responses of communities to seasonal anoxia. New aspects 

of microbial diversity, responses to shifting environments of global 

importance, and studies that expand our understanding of habitable 

niches spanning the full depth of the ocean will be the focus of the 

session. Emphasis will be given to discoveries that challenge the way 

we think about microbe-environment, and microbe-microbe interactions. 

Particularly, we invite contributions reporting newly identified 

activities of known or new taxonomic groups, responses of communities 

to global change-driven habitat shifts, the role of symbiosis in 

adaptation, and new insights into ocean carbon cycling. 


■ Describe the dynamic nature of marine microbial communities and

Surprising Versatility and Multiple Roots: News on the 

Ecophysiology and Evolution of Nitrite-Oxidizing Bacteria 

Holger Daims; Univ. of Vienna, Vienna, Austria 

No biogeochemical cycle is as impacted by human activity than 

the Nitrogen cycle. Humans account for over half of the reactive 

nitrogen introduced to the biosphere from agricultural development, 

urbanization, and industry. This doubling of reactive nitrogen over a 

short time period has shifted microbial N-cycle processes and communities 

as N-saturation becomes commonplace. In addition, we are 

recognizing through genome sequencing, metagenomics and precise 

analytical measurements that Nitrogen transformation processes 

are not attributable to particular phylotypes or functional cohorts of 

microorganisms, but are implemented as sets of interacting modules 

in intra- and intercellular settings that confer selective advantages 

to certain populations or communities. Speakers will describe the 

diversity of microorganisms facilitating Nitrogen transformation 

processes, how the balance of processes is changing, and how 

N-transformation modules are acquired and utilized within diverse 

physiological contexts. Speakers will discuss the modularity and 

diversity of microorganisms that perform N-fixation, nitrification and 

denitrification, among others, in ecosystems ranging from oceans to 

wastewater to soils. Connections between Nitrogen and other biogeochemical 

cycles will be addressed. Attendees will gain insight into 

the wide range of physiological and phylogenetic contexts for N-cycle 

modules, thus dispelling the notion that only certain phylotypes can 

facilitate certain processes. This concept is particularly important for 

analyzing the wealth of data generated by next-generation technologies 

as many historically used molecular markers are not unambiguous 

indicators for particular N-cycle processes. This new insight is 

based on growing evidence that molecular markers are not confined 

to microbial phylotypes and can represent one of several analogous 

functions. 


■ Discuss the environmental global context to organisms and 

processes of the N cycle. 

■ Indicate the modular concept of N metabolism and highlight new 

discoveries. 

■ Ascribe molecular, physiological and evolutionary perspectives 

to the diversity of N cycle inventory.

Disease Emergence and Spread (273-644e-14) 

Lyle R. Petersen; CDC, Fort Collins, CO 

In the past 30 years, there appears to be a never ending stream of 

emerging pathogens appearing on the horizon. A number of microbiological 

and environmental factors influence the appearance, distribution 

and evolution of an infectious agent. While predictions are that 

global warming will bring an increased emergence of pathogens, clinical 

labs, veterinary labs and public health labs are challenged to be 

prepared for the next emerging threat. The purpose of this session is 

to examine the pathogens that have recently appeared and determine 

what factors make those agents a long lasting threat that will need 

a long term response from the laboratory community to detect the 

pathogen and prevent transmission, and which do not gain a foothold 

and only require laboratory response for the short term. 


■ Describe the current known threats and how likely they are to 

spread. 

■ Recognize the importance of the clinical, veterinary and public 

health laboratories response to the emerging threats. 

■ Discuss current burden of illness estimates and how emerging 

pathogens could affect estimates in the future.

Recent studies in bacterial and archaeal motility have uncovered 

novel structures that power prokaryotic movement and new 

paradigms for motility function and regulation. This symposium will 

highlight new findings regarding the assembly and regulation of “classical” 

motility organelles, such as flagella and pili, and will provide a 

venue for discussing novel structures and mechanisms that power 

other types of prokaryotic motility, such as gliding. Attendees should 

come away from this session with an increased appreciation for the 

varied ways in which prokaryotes achieve and regulate motility, and a 

better understanding of motility’s influence on prokaryotic fitness and 

behavior in the environment and in a host.

Gut Microbiota, Low-Grade Inflammation, and Metabolic

Andrew Ted Gewirtz; Georgia State Univ., Atlanta, GA 

In many organisms tissues are colonized by complex communities 

of microbes. The diversity of microbes colonizing a host is proposed 

to be a result of coevolution between the eukaryotic host and the 

colonizing microbial community, influenced by both environment and 

host genetics. These microbes influence the fitness of their hosts, 

ultimately forming a metaorganism consisting of a multicellular host 

and a community of associated microorganisms, together acting as 

one unit of selection. Evidences from both invertebrate and vertebrate 

models reveal that the innate immune system is required to promote 

and maintain long-term colonization by the microbiota. This emerging 

perspective challenges current models in immunology and suggests 

that innate immunity may have evolved, in part, to mediate the bidirectional 

cross-talk between microbial symbionts and their hosts and 

thereby select for a specific microbiome. 


■ Discuss the role of the animal immune system in determining the 

composition of the microbiome. 

■ Describe the evolution of host-microbe interactions.

Reconstituting FtsZ Rings in Liposomes: 

Assembly Dynamics and Constriction Force 

Harold Erickson; Duke Univ., Durham, NC 

Reconstructing a complex cellular process In Vitro is one of the challenges 

of synthetic biology. Bacteria seem to have simplified many 

cellular processes compared to eukaryotic cells, making them ideal 

for this type of approach. Whereas much is known about the In Vivo 

requirements for proper bacterial cell growth and division, reductionist 

approaches that have been highly successful in the past for 

processes such as DNA replication have been difficult given the complexity 

of the assays and their readouts. Nevertheless, some breakthroughs 

have been made in the last few years. An example of one 

key advance, which uses a bottom-up approach, is the reconstitution 

of cytokinetic ring assembly and constriction in purified liposomes 

using two or three specific cell division proteins. Other related bottom 

up approaches include the reconstruction of correct positioning of 

the cytokinetic ring in cell-like compartments, and reconstruction of 

bacterial cell shape and membrane integrity. Some recent top-down 

approaches have also been noteworthy, including understanding 

cytokinesis in bacteria without cell walls, and removing the bacterial 

nucleoid in order to add back specific components of cytokinesis to 

a relatively empty cell-like vessel. This session will bring us up to date 

on these recent advances in the synthetic biology of complex cellular 

processes in bacteria, with an emphasis on one of the most complex, 

cytokinesis. The talks should appeal to those interested in bacterial 

cell biology as well as a diverse group of biologists interested in how 

the simplest of cells evolved.

Living biological systems are predicated upon complex, integrated 

molecular networks and signaling systems, as well as the impact of 

external signals on organisms. Systems biology and synthetic biology 

are rapidly developing fields that are built on multi- and interdisciplinary 

approaches to understanding and manipulating complex biological 

systems. Systems biology seeks to improve understanding of the 

molecular bases of collective organismal behavior. Systems biology 

studies often extend to molecular and computational modeling to 

facilitate connecting the dynamic regulation of integrated molecular 

networks and signaling systems to observed complex organismal 

behaviors and responses. Synthetic biology is built on systems level 

understanding of organisms. Synthetic biological approaches capitalize 

on the biosynthetic capacities of biological systems, including 

microbial systems, and allow the optimization of the biosynthetic 

capacity of these systems or novel synthetic engineering for the production 

of target molecules such as biofuels or bioproducts. These 

inherently interdisciplinary areas offer both opportunities and challenges 

for groups of researchers from disparate disciplines to work 

together in making breakthrough scientific advances, as well as creating 

interdisciplinary training environments for students and young 

investigators. This session includes examples of innovative research 

models in systems and synthetic biology, which draw on geneticand 

proteomic-based capabilities, and chemical engineering-based 

knowledge for synthesizing compounds using biological organisms as 

chemical factories. The use of such approaches for innovations from 

basic discovery to early commercialization will be described.

More Complex than We Thought: Alternative Mechanisms 

of Bacterial Two-Component Response Regulator Control 

Andrew T. Ulijasz; Imperial Coll. London, United Kingdom 

Although regulation of DNA transcription has been a topic of interest 

for several decades, the field remains very active, challenging and 

competitive. Recent structural work is now allowing us to understand 

transcription regulation at a molecular level and has revealed 

unexpected functional similarities in basic mechanisms throughout 

all three kingdoms of life. In addition, an investigation of prokaryotic 

gene expression has become reenergized owing to the urgent necessity 

for identifying novel approaches for antibacterial drug/drug target 

discovery and exciting new advances in synthetic biology, bioengineering 

and biotechnology. RNA polymerase, the molecular engine 

that drives DNA transcription, represents a nexus for the regulation of 

prokaryotic gene expression. Therefore, understanding new ways by 

which the activity of the RNA polymerase can be modulated represents 

a major objective in the field of prokaryotic gene expression and 

regulation. This session will include talks from leading researchers 

in the field who study how RNA polymerase is repurposed and reprogrammed 

by transcription regulatory factors encoded by phages, 

archaea and pathogenic bacteria. 


■ Explain the fundamental similarities and differences in the composition

Perils and Opportunities for Public Health (273-645e-14) 

John Besser; CDC, Atlanta, GA 

Despite advances in food safety, sanitation, and medical treatment, 

acute gastrointestinal infection (AGI) remains a significant problem in 

industrialized countries among all age groups. In the US, approximately 

48 million cases of food borne illness, resulting in 128,000 

hospitalizations and 3,000 deaths, are estimated to occur each year. 

In addition to acute diarrhea other complications may arise from 

infection, including hemolytic-uremic syndrome, chronic diarrhea, and 

malnutrition, developmental delays, and reactive arthritis or Guillain- 

Barrè Syndrome. Diagnosis of the specific pathogen causing AGI is 

difficult because of both the number of different pathogens that can 

cause the illness (bacteria, toxins, parasites, viruses) and the inability 

to target a specific test method or pathogen. Currently, non-cultural 

methods exist in the form of multiplex amplification panels as well 

as EIA methods for individual pathogens. How do these methods 

compare to traditional methods or to each other and what implications 

do these methods have on patient care, laboratory diagnosis 

and workflow and the effect on the identification of outbreaks? This 

symposium will include laboratory diagnostic comparisons of multiplex 

assays and EIA methods, the overall impact on patient care and 

laboratory practices, implications and suggestions for public health 

surveillance and laboratory cooperation for outbreak detection activities, 

and a glimpse into the future of AGI diagnostics. 


■ Identify the major GI Pathogens associated with AGI and current 

identification methods used in the clinical laboratory as well as 

appreciate the physician and patient perspectives in this disease 

entity. 

■ Describe common and future non-culture methods for detection 

of GI pathogens, including EIA and antigen testing, multiplex 

molecular platforms and genomic and metagenomic technologies. 

■ Assess advantages and disadvantages of non-culture methods as 

they relate to lab workflow, treatment of patients, and public health

From shotgun sequencing, molecular multiplexing and barcoding, 

to “next generation” sequencing and complex meta-omic data sets, 

microbiology has experienced exponential growth in the tools available 

for answering seemingly intractable questions. Consolidating, 

sorting, and integrating chemical, biological, genomic, proteomic, 

and analytical information is now possible and has yielded insights 

into the workings of very diverse systems. A new era of discovery is 

being ushered in by these enabling technologies including imaging 

mass spectrometry to allow the two-dimensional visualization and 

spatial mapping of trace metals, metabolites, surface lipids, peptides 

and proteins directly from samples. Experts in the field will discuss 

using these techniques in projects ranging from soil microbial ecology 

to evolution of host-associated ecosystems, such as the termite 

hindgut and human microbiome, to using biosynthetic knowledge for 

the discovery of new therapeutic agents. Future applications of these 

methods will also be discussed.

Neil St. John Forbes; Univ. of Massachusetts Amherst, Amherst, MA 

The study of cancer biology has long been exclusively in the realm 

of cell biology and molecular biology with recognition that a few 

microbes can contribute to malignancies. Recent studies have 

established links of microbes to many different kinds of cancers. The 

role of the microbes in oncogenesis includes induction of inflammation 

that can alter the local cellular environment and reprogramming 

of stem cells, but also includes contribution of specific microbial 

virulence factors that can cause epigenetic changes in the cell that 

promote carcinogenesis. New systems type studies seek to further 

expand the number of recognized microbes that could contribute to 

oncogenesis, particularly in developing countries. In addition, there 

will be discussion of how bacteria can be engineered as therapeutics 

to help battle cancer in patients. This session will be educational to 

microbiologists who are interested in host-microbe interactions and 

how these interactions can have long term consequences for human 

health, even after the acute infection is resolved. 


■ Consider the exanding number of microbes known to induce 

malignancies and new ideas for use of microbes in cancer 

treatment . 

■ Describe how microbe alterations to cell biology and induction of 

immune responses during infection can contribute to oncogenesis.

Raul Andino; Univ. of California, San Francisco, San Francisco, CA 

A large number of medically important viruses, including HIV, HCV, 

and influenza, have RNA genomes. These viruses replicate with 

extremely high mutation rates and exhibit significant genetic diversity. 

This diversity allows a viral population to rapidly adapt to dynamic 

environments and evolve resistance to vaccines and antiviral drugs. 

We will discuss the current theoretical principles and experimental 

approaches use to develop a population-based framework for understanding 

RNA viral evolution, fitness, virulence, and antiviral strategies.

Robert Littlefield; North Dakota State Univ., Fargo, ND 

Much of the increased life expectancy of humans throughout the 

world is the result of our ability to prevent and treat infectious 

diseases. Control measures such as improved sanitation, food 

safety measures, immunization, and antimicrobial therapy have all 





contributed to the remarkable decline of infectious disease. However, 

these control measures are not without controversy. As the incidence 

of many diseases has fallen, so has the public’s awareness of the 

consequences of these infections and their resistance to control measures. 

The spread of inaccurate information regarding the hazards 

of immunization has led to decreased vaccination rates, while the 

perceived benefits of raw milk have led to an increase in consumption 

of raw milk and a concomitant increase in the number of illnesses and 

deaths linked to dairy products. Conversely, the indiscriminate use 

of antimicrobial agents has increased resulting in the emergence of 

multiply antibiotic resistant organisms and questions about the environmental 

impact of the widespread use antiseptics such as triclosan. 

The goal of this session is to highlight some of the controversies in infectious 

disease control and to discuss communication strategies that 

will enable microbiologists and policy makers to effectively engage 

the public to help address these issues. 


■ Describe the current public attitudes and controversies surrounding 

prevention and control of selected infectious diseases. 

■ Describe effective communication strategies to engage stakeholders 

and address concerns and misperceptions about infectious 

disease prevention and control strategies. 

■ Describe advances in control of infectious diseases from a historical

Paul L. Fidel, Jr.; Louisiana State Univ. Hlth. Sci. Ctr., New Orleans, LA 

Laboratory diagnosis of invasive fungal infection is a challenging 

demand for clinical microbiology laboratories. The problems 

presented are often organ-system based. The differential diagnosis 

of likely pathogens, specimen processing, tests performed, analysis, 

and interpretation are strongly organ-system based. The expanding 

technologies and strategies reviewed in this symposium will greatly 




advance the ability of laboratory technologists, supervisors, directors, 

and clinicians to understand and improve the yield of diagnostic 

approaches to invasive fungal infections through an organ-systems 

based approach. Processing BAL fluid, tissue, and other respiratory 

tract secretions with efficient protocols that incorporates direct exam 

techniques, culture, antigen, and PCR can greatly enhance recognition. 

A combined approach of biomarkers and blood culture (BBC) 

methods can accelerate diagnosis of fungal bloodstream infections. 

The emergence of new CNS fungal pathogens has been met with 

novel diagnostic approaches that can be incorporated into the assessment 

of CSF and CNS tissues. Advances in antifungal therapeutics 

have been achieved, yet new challenges of drug resistance 

in immunocompromised hosts have emerged. Triazole-resistant oral 

candidiasis is observed particularly in HIV-infected patients; whereas, 

refractory vaginal candidiasis is usually host-based. The development 

of antifungal drug resistance occurs in the setting of specific patient 

populations as the result of a critical interaction between organism 

burden, the organ system affected, drug exposure, and impaired host 

response. 


■ Describe the technologies and strategies available to improve the 

diagnosis of invasive fungal infections. 

■ Describe the specific patient populations most at risk for invasive

New Type IIG Restriction Enzymes Discovered by PacBio 

Sequencing 

Richard Morgan; New England Biolabs, Ipswich, MA 

Pacific Biosciences SMRT sequencing has opened a new window 

on bacterial methylation. For the first time, whole genome analysis of 

methylation patterns has become feasible and methylase recognition 

sequences can be determined with some precision. For the Type I 

and Type III restriction systems, the specificity of the methylase determines 

the specificity of the restriction enzyme permitting complete 

characterization of these systems. With the Type II restriction systems 

many new methylase specificities are being determined and it is now 

apparent that the specificities of the Type II methylases usually exactly 

match those of their cognate restriction enzymes. The selective 

pressures that cause this are unknown. Hundreds of new specificities 

are being found and the variation is much greater than expected. 

There are numerous examples of solitary methylases, both Type I and 

II that lack corresponding restriction enzymes. Their biological role is 

usually unknown. Many methylases are found in genomes that are not 

expressed during normal growth, but are active when cloned. Some 

of those are found on prophages where they likely play a key role in 

overcoming host restriction systems following prophage excision. 

Some of these are extremely promiscuous, capable of methylating 

most if not all of the phage genomes. Finally, several methylases with 

single-strand specificity have been found encoded on plasmids where 

they may be part of the replication machinery. The descriptive phase 

of this work continues apace giving data that should lead to exciting 

new biology including hitherto undiscovered epigenetic phenomena. 


■ Determine the current state-of-the-art in bacterial methylation 

analysis. 

■ Realize that methylation does more than protect against restriction 

enzymes. 

■ Recognize that bacterial epigenetics is more widespread than 

currently known.

The Role of Siderocalins in Anti-Bacterial Iron 

Sequestration and Endogenous Cellular Functions 

Roland Strong; Fred Hutchinson Cancer Res. Ctr., Seattle, WA 

Metals are required for all domains of life as they form critical cofactors 

of essential metabolic processes. More recently it has been 

appreciated that the control of metal homeostasis by mammalian 

hosts, and microbes that infect or colonize them, is critical for establishing 

either symbiotic or pathogenic associations. In this session, 

we will cover topics ranging from microbial mechanisms of metal 

acquisition to host pathways that control metal access to microbes. 

While iron has long been appreciated for its role in physiology, we will 

also discuss new findings that highlight the importance of other metals 

such as copper and zinc. 


■ Explain how metals play essential roles in controlling microbial 

growth in humans. 

■ Discuss why metals are essential nutrients. 

■ Describe how microbes have evolved numerous pathways to 

sequester limiting metals as well as combat excess metals.

Atypical Decoding Events on the Ribosome 

Hani Zaher; Washington Univ. in St. Louis, St. Louis, MO 

Accurate gene expression is dependent on the faithful translation of 

messenger RNAs into the corresponding sequences of amino acids. 

In general the translation machinery maintains fidelity through a series 

of quality control steps, compromises in which can have significant 

impacts on growth and viability. While translation quality control is 

generally viewed as essential for growth, recent studies have now 

shown that mistranslation of the genetic code may actually promote 

survival and competitiveness under some conditions. This new 

understanding of the inherent flexibility of the genetic code is also the 

basis of recent advances in synthetic biology. In this session, recent 

advances in our understanding of translation quality control, mistranslation 

and retranslation will be reviewed focusing on: 1. Translation 

control and mechanisms of protein synthesis; 2. Quality control during 

translation of the genetic code; 3. Mistranslation of the genetic code 

and bacterial pathogenesis; 4. Evolution of genetic recoding in funghi 

and phenotypic diversification; and 5. Rewriting the genetic code for 

synthetic biology. 


■ Explain the recent advances in the fields of translation of the 

genetic code and protein synthesis.

In recent years, there has been a dramatic explosion of studies 

dealing with genomics, proteomics, lipidomics, systems biology 

and mycobiome in fungi. This session aims to bring each expertise 

together in the attempt to find common ground and synergy in order 

to improve our understanding of microbial growth and virulence. 

Microbiome studies have focused mainly on the bacteriiome (the 

bacterial component of the microbiota). This lecture will show that the 

fungal component (mycobiome) is an important and vital member of 

the human microbiota. In addition attendees will gain insight into how 

studying the mycobiome will help in fighting disease. Because of the 

high level of complexity, it is necessary to describe and understand 

invasive fungal infection by taking a systems biological approach, 

i.e., by a comprehensive quantitative analysis of the non-linear and 

selective interactions of a large number of functionally diverse, and 

frequently multifunctional, sets of elements, e.g., genes, proteins, 

metabolites, which produce coherent and emergent behaviors in time 





and space. The recent advances in systems biology will now make it 

possible to uncover the structure and dynamics of molecular and cellular 

cause-effect relationships within these pathogenic interactions. 


■ Describe how regulatory differences between fungi can predict 

which traits have diverged between them and why.

Pathogens survive by hijacking host cell machinery to replicate. As 

obligate intracellular pathogens, viruses co-opt cellular transport 

pathways during entry, genome replication, and assembly of progeny 

virions. Unrelated viral pathogens may hijack common trafficking 

machinery, including microtubules, cytoskeletal networks, nuclear 

import and export receptors, endosomal sorting pathways and 

membrane-targeting factors. Even though they are genetically diverse 

from viruses, intracellular bacteria may use similar strategies to take 

advantage of the host environment for their own benefit. In this session, 

we will discuss the mechanisms that pathogens use to usurp 

cellular machinery, comparing and contrasting the interactions of 

different microbes with host cell trafficking pathways. 


■ Identify the cellular trafficking machinery hijacked by viruses for 

replication. 

■ Discuss the host cell machinery usurped by intracellular bacteria

William R. Rodriguez; Daktari Diagnostics, Inc., Cambridge, MA 

The development and evaluation of novel point-of-care (POC) 

tests for infectious diseases is a rapidly advancing field, attracting 

clinicians, researchers and developers from across academia and 

industry. A particular area of interest is the development of tests 

for the resource-limited setting, given both the specific infectious 

diseases prevalent in those settings and the unique operational 

constraints those settings impose. In this session, we will first discuss 

the spectrum and goal of POC testing in the resource limited setting. 

We will then examine cutting-edge POC technologies in use and in 

development for high impact infectious disease applications in this 

setting, starting with a discussion of novel biomarkers for POC testing 

for tuberculosis and platforms to allow their detection at POC. Next, 

we will discuss POC testing in these settings for diagnosis/monitoring 

of HIV, and advantages and limitations of these tests. Next, we will 

discuss POC NAATs and challenges for their use in these settings. 

Finally, we will discuss novel low-cost test platforms in development 

for diagnosis/management of infectious diseases from the perspective 

of a platform developer. This session will provide an overview of 

the POC infectious disease diagnostics landscape in the resourcelimited 

setting. 


■ Describe the spectrum and definition(s) of POC testing relevant to 

the resource-limited setting. 

■ Evaluate novel biomarker candidates for development of POC

Long-Range Organization of the E. coli Chromosome: 

Mechanisms and Consequences 

Frederic Boccard; Ctr. for Molecular Genetics, CNRS, Gif-sur-Yvette, 

France 

Chromosomes must be highly compacted to fit within the confines of 

a cell. However, chromosomal DNA cannot be haphazardly packed or 

arranged, and instead must be structured in a way that supports DNA 

replication, gene expression, and chromosome segregation. Recent 

advances in microscopy and the advent of chromosome conformation 

capture (3C) assays have begun to rapidly accelerate our understanding 

of precisely how chromosomes are packaged and organized 

within microbial cells. This session will highlight recent work in this 

area, including efforts to (1) better map the structure of chromosomes 

and (2) elucidate the role of specific DNA-binding proteins in establishing 

and maintaining chromosome organization. The session will 

feature studies of both fungal and bacterial chromosomes, enabling a 

comparison of the underlying principles used in a range of organisms. 


■ Describe the key structural features of bacterial and fungal 

chromosomes. 

■ Identify the major new techniques for probing chromosome 

structure and organization. 

■ Explain how DNA-binding proteins influence chromosome 

organization.

Climate Change Influences on Marine Infectious 

Diseases: Implications for Management and Society 

Colleen Burge; Cornell Univ., Ithaca, NY 

The Ocean covers 71% of the earth’s surface and is rich in species 

and processes that have major global significance. Despite its importance, 

our understanding of the Ocean has been restricted largely due 

to problems of access and the expense of doing ocean science. The 

most recent evidence shows unambiguous evidence that the ocean 

is also undergoing major changes as a result of human activities that 

include extraction, pollution and now global ocean warming and 

acidification. Recent studies have shown large-scale changes in ecosystems 

from protists to mammals, indicating a number of challenges 

to human communities and nations. Microbiological systems have a 

central role within the changes and challenges. This lecture will focus 

on the physical and chemical changes that are occurring in the ocean, 

and the changes that have and are likely to occur over the coming 

decades and century. Many ecosystems are likely to disappear over 

the current century if steps are not taken to reverse the changes that 

are occurring in terms of global change. Major questions surround 

the types of systems that will replace these ecosystems, and how 

modifications to the biogeochemical processes are likely to, or not 

to, occur. Large gaps also exist in our understanding of some of the 

major microbial cycles, presenting an element of risk and uncertainty 

that needs to be addressed. Speakers in this session will explore the 

physical and chemical changes which are often small yet result in big 

impacts. We will also attempt to outline where some of these known 

unknowns or even unknown unknowns may exist, with the hope of 

shining the much needed spotlight on the importance of resolving 

these critical uncertainties. 


■ Review our understanding of the changes that are occurring in the 

ocean as a result of human activities, particularly those involving 

microbial systems. 

■ Explore our current understanding as well is the gaps that exist in 

our understanding of marine microbial systems, and global warming 

and ocean acidification. 




■ Throw a spotlight on the known unknowns as well is the unknown 

unknowns when it comes to the changes that appear to be exploring 

in the world’s largest collection of habitats, the ocean.

clouds. Her work suggests a specialized ecological niche in clouds 

with novel cloud-specific species. She has shown that these biological 

agents control cloud water chemistry under some conditions. Her 

findings have broad implications for global a.m.spheric processes and 

climate. Professor Karen Lloyd recently discovered that archaea in 

deep sea sediments degrade detrital proteins. This finding is changing 

our traditional view of the role of archaea in complex communities, 

especially in the deep subsurface, and has broad implications 

for microbes that live life on the edge in energetically challenging 

environments. An additional four young investigators will present new 

and novel findings that expand our knowledge of microbes living in

Zinder, has a lifetime of scientific investigation that has provided deep 

insights into anaerobic microbial appetites. His recent discovery of 

Dehalobacter that completely dechlorinate chlorinated benzene is 

novel and groundbreaking and suggests the existence of many still 

undiscovered biological agents in the global halogen cycle. His talk

Mark T. Hernandez; Univ. of Colorado at Boulder, Boulder, CO 

It is estimated that people in the industrialized world spend 90% 

of their time indoors. During the time spent indoors, we breathe 

and come in contact with surfaces and objects that are covered by 

trillions of microorganisms, and this has an effect on human health. 

Recent applications of deep sequencing and ecological theory to the 

built environment (ie. human-made structures) have revealed that we 

share our homes, workplaces, and hospitals with a surprising array 

of microbes originating from many different sources. This session 

explores the ecology of the built environment with an emphasis on 

microbial diversity and human-microbe interactions.

Renee M. Tsolis; Univ. of California, Davis, CA 

We are host to a large microbial community that provides benefit by 

conferring niche protection and educating the immune system. An 

excessive immune response against this beneficial microbial community 

must be avoided to prevent chronic inflammation. At the same 

time, however, the innate immune system must maintain the ability 

to mount adequate antimicrobial responses against pathogens. An 

emerging concept is that the innate immune system distinguishes 

pathogens from commensal microbes by detecting pathogen-induced 

processes, such as the presence of virulence factors, as danger 

signals. This session will focus on how the innate immune systems 

distinguishes friend from foe. 


■ Gain insignts into current concepts on detection of microbes by 

the innate immune system. 

■ Determine how the innate immune system can distinguish harmful 

micribes from those with less pathogenic potential.
