[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]
