DESCRIPTION:Bacterial pathogens are facing fierce conditions to colonize t
 heir host and launch successful infections. Not only they have to escape t
 he immune system but they should also compete with other invading organism
 s or resident bacterial flora. This warfare is crucial for winning access 
 to sometime scarce resources such as iron or other essential nutriments wh
 ich will sustain growth and survival. These pathogens employ a variety of 
 strategies which are associated with canonical lifestyles. Here we will di
 scuss how Pseudomonas aeruginosa uses a bacterial weapon called the type V
 I secretion system (T6SS) to eliminate competitors. There are multi exampl
 es of bacterial toxins\, which are transported in a T6SS-dependent manner\
 , and P. aeruginosa can use a remarkable collection of ammunitions\, which
  make it a resilient and potent competitor when facing other organisms. We
  will discuss the kind of T6SS toxins that are injected into bacterial pre
 ys and how they can point at the identification of new antimicrobial targe
 ts which could be used for drug development\nSpeakers:\nProfessor Alain Fi
 lloux (Imperial College London)
