Welcome to Specialized Group of Biology of Pathogenic Microorganisms (GEBMP) of the Spanish Society of Microbiology.

The intention of the current Board of Directors of the GEBMP is to become a forum for interaction of all members of the Spanish Society of Microbiology interested in infectious diseases. Although the main focus is on pathogens that cause disease in humans, all those who investigate non-human pathogens are welcome to collaborate in the Group's activities. We understand that the biology of pathogenic microorganisms is a multidisciplinary field, so it must attract people with different backgrounds, such as doctors, biologists, pharmacists and veterinarians, among others. Our expectation is that the activities of the group cover the main aspects of infectious diseases, such as:

  • Basic investigation of the way of life of pathogenic microorganisms.
  • Interaction of microorganisms with their corresponding hosts.
  • Immune response against infections.
  • Research in new therapies.
  • Antimicrobial resistance.
  • Clinical aspects.
  • Dissemination and awareness of the importance and impact of infectious diseases in our society.

We trust that the GEBMP will be a forum for interaction between all our partners, in which we invite members of other Specialized Groups with whom we share an interest in pathogenic microorganisms to participate.

The Board of Directors.
