Description (as provided by the applicant): Infections caused by gram-positive pathogens, including Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, Clostridium difficile, and Enterococcus faecium, among others, are a burden on our society causing significant morbidity and mortality. The 2012 International Conference on Gram-Positive Pathogens (ICGPP) seeks to better understand these bacteria through fostering interactions between investigators studying multiple aspects of gram-positive pathogenesis and biology. We are applying for funds to support, in part, the 2012 ICGPP, which will be held in Omaha, NE on October 7-10, 2012. We have secured the participation of five internationally recognized keynote speakers that will focus on the function of bacterial metabolism in the regulation of pathogenesis and the interface between host and pathogen. A significant priority of the ICGPP is the active participation of pre- and post-doctoral trainees; every accommodation will be given to those junior scientists who prefer to give oral presentations. Ultimately, the goal of this conference is to broaden our understanding of Gram- positive pathogenesis and biology through the generation of new collaborations and to gain new insights through the study of similar systems in these related pathogens. Public Health Relevance: The International Conference on Gram-Positive Pathogens (ICGPP) provides a forum where investigators studying multiple aspects of gram-positive pathogenesis and biology can interact and share ideas to enhance the general understanding of these important pathogens. These interactions will foster new ideas and collaborations to ultimately develop novel therapeutic regimens to treat these sometimes devastating infections.

描述（如申请人提供）：由革兰氏阳性病原体引起的感染，包括金黄色葡萄球菌，化脓性链球菌，艰难梭菌和粪肠球菌等引起的感染，以及其他粪便，是我们社会的负担，导致了巨大的发病率和死亡率。 2012年革兰氏阳性病原体国际会议（ICGPP）试图通过促进研究革兰氏阳性发病机理和生物学多个方面的研究人员之间的相互作用来更好地理解这些细菌。我们正在申请资金以部分支持2012年的ICGPP，该ICGPP将于2012年10月7日至10日在新南北的奥马哈举行。我们确保了五个国际认可的主题演讲者的参与，该扬声器将集中在细菌代谢的功能中，以调节病原体和宿主和病原体之间的界面。 ICGPP的重要优先级是学期和博士后学员的积极参与；每个住宿都会给那些喜欢进行口头演讲的初级科学家。最终，这次会议的目的是通过产生新的合作来扩大我们对革命阳性的发病机理和生物学的理解，并通过研究这些相关病原体中的类似系统来获得新的见解。 公共卫生相关性：革兰氏阳性病原体国际会议（ICGPP）提供了一个论坛，研究人员研究了革兰氏阳性发病机理和生物学的多个方面可以进行互动和分享思想，以增强对这些重要病原体的一般理解。这些相互作用将促进新的想法和合作，以最终开发新颖的治疗方案来治疗这些有时毁灭性的感染。
