Evolution of H. pylori.

Posted on 7 décembre 2016 Updated on 13 décembre 2016

Here is our new collaborative work with Hilde De Reuse published in PLoS pathogens.
We partially described how this bacterium has adapted to the gastric environment by completely reworking its metal homeostasis. A great collaboration funded by our common PTR Pasteur grant! A lot more to come…

Frédéric Veyrier obtained his M.Sc. degree from the INRS-Institut Armand Frappier Laval (Qc) on the metal homeostasis in different pathogens. He completed his PhD studies at McGill University, Montréal (Qc) on the evolution of the human pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis. He moved back to France in 2010 as a young researcher at the Institut Pasteur, Paris (France). His research focused on the common evolution of nasopharyngeal pathogens like Neisseria meningitidis, Haemophilus influenzae or Moraxella catarrhalis . Specifically, he is studying how bacterial metal transport and cell-wall have evolved to adjust to the stringent and competitive nasopharynx environment. He is now an associate professor at the INRS-Institut Armand Frappier in Canada continuing his work on human bacterial symbionts evolution.
