7th joint conference "Joint Microbiology & Infection Conference 2024" of the DGHM and VAAM

Prof. Dr.

Chair

Abstract: The arms race between bacteria and phages led to the development of sophisticated anti-phage defense systems. A flurry of recent discoveries showed that the microbial pan-genome contains over 100 defense systems whose function was so far unexplored. The talk will present progress in understanding the mechanisms of action of new defense systems, will highlight cases in which bacterial defense from phage gave rise to key components in the eukaryotic innate immune system, and will demonstrate how phages evolved to overcome bacterial immunity.
