The Pseudomonas International Conference is a biennial event that brings together researchers from all over the world who are working on the genus Pseudomonas, including not only the important human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa, but also a range of other important species with relevance to plant pathogenicity, bioremediation and environmental microbiology. It is also a group of organisms used widely for the study of host–pathogen interactions; cell–cell communication systems; evolutionary biology; gene regulation and metabolic networks; secretion systems; antibiotics (and resistance); bioremediation; biofilms; bacterial genomics; and other topics of broader relevance to microbiology and molecular biology generally.
The meeting was aimed primarily at scientists (from postgraduate students to PIs) with an interest in Pseudomonas, but because of the widespread use of this genus as a model to study multiple systems, it was of general interest to other researchers active in areas such as evolutionary biology, communication systems, genomics and biofilm research. In addition, because P. aeruginosa is a key pathogen associated with both acute and chronic infections, and particularly important in the context of cystic fibrosis and antimicrobial resistance, the meeting was of interest to clinicians and clinical researchers.
