The microbial Pangenome in One-Health is a forum covering #veterinary and human medicine, #microbiology, #ecology, #publichealth, and #epidemiology, aiming to address the complex intersection bringing together animal, human and environmental microbial genomics.

In addition, understanding intraspecific genetic variability within the human #microbiome will also be crucial for its manipulation and/or maintenance.

The diversity in gene pools of different #pathogenic strains plays a substantial part in determining the virulence of infections but is also critical for new forms of therapies such as phages as #antimicrobials.

The focus of this second meeting on #pangenomes is on the relevance of the prokaryotic pangenome for human, animal and environmental health as part of the #OneHealth context, tackling the prevention and treatment of #infectious #diseases.

The #biology of prokaryotic cells is directly dependent on the differential gene pools that characterize each cell or strain. This has been a fundamental aspect of #epidemiology for delimiting #outbreaks and #pathogenicity.

Yes, It was totally unexpected, I was just attracted by the black and white light contrast... Then at home I saw the magic! 😮 😀
