Resumen en ingles
Vibrio 2009, the third international conference on the
biology of Vibrios, was held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil,
in November 2009. This conference united researchers
studying various aspects of pathogenesis, symbiosis
and environmental persistence of this diverse
group of marine bacteria. Through many of the presentations,
it became apparent how horizontal gene
transfer and genetic flexibility has driven the incredible
diversity of these microbes. Interestingly, unifying
themes of behaviour could be seen in the
interaction(s) of Vibrios with other organisms, such
as with other bacteria, corals, invertebrates and
humans. Presentations illuminated the idea that the
path towards symbiosis is not that different from the
path towards disease, and that alterations in environmental
conditions, such as climate change, can tip
the balance and change the Vibrio interactions from
benign to pathogenic.
