Resumen
Adaptation of pathogens to their environment, considering the environment in its broader sense as every niche in which bacteria have to survive, is a complex issue of undisputed relevance for fields such as ecology, biotechnology, crop protection or biomedicine. This relevance is evidenced by the growing number of reports dealing with bacterial adaptation to different niches. This springs from two fundamental aspects, communication and competition between bacteria sharing the same environment, and how the outcome of these behaviours shapes bacterial communities. This workshop aims at bringing together the complementary aspects of the molecular mechanisms leading to bacterial adaptation and communication in various hosts, among which plants and humans. It will also represent a unique chance to gather different scientific communities which hardly ever meet.
