[BACP Membership Roster] [BACP Meeting Rosters]
The Bacterial Pathogenesis [BACP] Study Section reviews R01 applications concerned with bacterial pathogens or the pathogen side of the host-pathogen relationship. Specific areas covered by BACP:
- Genetic, biochemical and structural characterization of the regulation and determinants of virulence and pathogenicity, including: capsules, toxins, and supramolecular structures
- Role of bacterial behavior and developmental processes in the host pathogen interaction, including: biofilms, chemotaxis, sporulation, and stress responses
- Mechanisms of persistence and transmission
- Ecology of bacterial pathogens including the composition of the indigenous microbiota and its role in health and disease
- Animal models of infection
Study sections with most closely related areas of similar science listed in rank order are:

Prokaryotic Cell and Molecular Biology [PCMB]
Oral, Dental and Craniofacial Sciences [ODCS]
Drug Discovery and Mechanisms of Antimicrobial Resistance [DDR]
