Questions for Breakout Groups: [Breakout Groups to focus on militarily relevant bacterial pathogens, recognizing however, that those characteristics are shared across the biota, and thus are not limited only to militarily relevant bacteria]
Group 1: Mechanisms of Host Response to Infection
· Morning Session: Key questions - What are the current state of knowledge and keyknowledge gaps related to:
a) Regulation of mechanisms and pathways involved in the host response toinfection – e.g., what are the common and unique features of the immuneresponse to bacterial pathogens? This would include: 1) the innate immuneresponse that serves as a common first line of defense against a variety ofpathogens and 2) the antigen-specific adaptive immune response that confersimmunological memory and protection from reinfection.
b) Cross-talk between these mechanisms/pathways during infectious diseaseinitiation and progression.
c) Understanding the heterogeneity in the host immune response to infection.· Afternoon Session (Continue discussion from Morning Session and also address the
following):
C-4
FOR COMMENT DRAFT
a) What are significant barriers to leveraging the host response, utilizing insightsfrom systems analysis for rational design of host- or bacterial-based diagnostics,therapeutics and (as applicable) vaccines.
b) What are significant technology, informatics or other barriers to thecomputational integration of in vitro, animal model, and human data on hostresponse that would limit the ability to perform integrated analysis across thesedifferent biological systems?
c) What can USAMRMC do to enhance cooperation and coordination acrossorganizations? What new processes or policies would improve data sharing andcollaboration among partners?
Group 2: Mechanisms of Pathogen Invasiveness and Immune Evasion
· Morning Session: Key questions - What are the current state of knowledge and keyknowledge gaps related to:
a) Understanding the factors by which pathogens influence host response to promotepathogen survival and invasiveness.
b) Role of the host microbiome (microbiome-pathogen and microbiome-hostinteractions) in pathogenesis of bacterial infections.
c) Bacterial mechanisms and pathways involved in regulating invasiveness andimmune evasion (e.g. regulation of bacterial virulence factors).
d) Development of pathogen-based and host-based therapeutics.· Afternoon Session (Continue discussion from Morning Session and also address the
following):a) What are significant barriers to leveraging bacterial mechanisms of invasion and
immune evasion, utilizing insights from systems analysis for rational design ofhost- or bacterial-based diagnostics, therapeutics and (as applicable) vaccines?
b) What are significant technology, informatics or other barriers to thecomputational integration of in vitro, animal model, and human data on pathogenbiology that would limit the ability to perform integrated analysis across thesedifferent biological systems?
c) What can USAMRMC do to enhance cooperation and coordination acrossorganizations? What new processes or policies would improve data sharing andcollaboration among partners?
Group 3: Development of Drug Resistance and Persisters
· Morning Session: Key questions - What are the current state of knowledge and keyknowledge gaps related to:
a) Mechanisms (stochastic vs. induced) by which bacteria acquire a drug resistantphenotype (e.g., stress on bacteria due to the host immune response / host
C-5
microenvironment during infection – such as host-induced cytokines or reactive oxygen species – which may lead to bet-hedging and heterogeneity).
b) The regulation of these mechanisms during the course of infection (both in theabsence of and during antibiotic treatment).
c) Understanding the mechanisms governing the origin of persisters.d) Patient-specific or personalized factors that influence the emergence of drug
resistant bacteria within a given patient.· Afternoon Session (Continue discussion from Morning Session and also address the
following):a) What are significant technology, informatics or other barriers to the
computational integration of in vitro, animal model, and human data on drug resistance that would limit the ability to perform integrated analysis across these different biological systems?
b) What can USAMRMC do to enhance cooperation and coordination acrossorganizations? What new processes or policies would improve data sharing andcollaboration among partners?
Group 4: Computational Analysis Approaches
· Morning Session:a) What are the significant technology, informatics or other barriers to the
computational integration of in vitro, animal model, and human data that wouldlimit the ability to perform integrated analysis across the different biologicalsystems? For instance:§ Barriers associated with integrating omics data from both the host and
pathogens§ Integrating data from single cell biology and omics approaches to
understand host and pathogen heterogeneity.§ Technology barriers associated with expanding the druggable space
through uncovering host-pathogen interactionsb) What can USAMRMC do to enhance cooperation and coordination across
organizations? What new processes or policies would improve data sharing andcollaboration among partners?
· Afternoon Session: Integrate into other 3 groups to assist in development ofrecommendations
