This plenary session will present data from two speakers illustrating the microbial communities in our bodies and the role microbiomes (viromes) play in human health and diseases. This session will explain the reasons that the human microbiome is as important as the human genome.
Microbiome Changes with Infectious Complications During Stem Cell Transplantation
Ying Taur, MD, MPH, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY, USA
The Intestinal Virome: From Chronic Inflammation to Bacteriophage Therapy Targeting Multidrug Resistant Bacteria
Breck A. Duerkop, PhD, University of Colorado School of Medicine, Aurora, CO, USA
Objectives:
- Describe how the gut microbiome is disrupted during stem cell transplantation, and its impact on patient outcomes.
- Outline the connection between the microbiome and stem cell immunity, and how that could inform on other avenues of human health.
- Summarize interventional studies aimed at maintaining or restoring microbiome health to patients in the setting of stem cell transplantation.
- Discuss how the molecular characterization of bacteriophage infection mechanisms may lead to novel antibacterial therapeutics.
