Essentials of Staphylococcal Genetics and Metabolism Workshop
ESGM Workshop will be held on July 9-16, 2023 at the Center for Staphylococcal Research, University of Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha, Nebraska, USA

Provides participants the fundamental techniques required to perform molecular genetic experiments within the staphylococci.  Techniques that will be discussed, among others, include methods to transfer plasmids and chromosomal markers, utilization of the Nebraska Transposon Mutant Library, allelic replacement strategies, and construction of transcriptional and translational fusions.  We will also review the fundamentals of staphylococcal biology, including lectures on virulence mechanisms, regulatory strategies, metabolic requirements, biofilm formation, and immune response to infection.  Further information on the Essentials of Staphylococcal Genetics Workshop, housing costs, instructors, syllabus, and social activities can be found on this page.
