Abstract

Our bodies contain ten times more bacteria than cells and their activity is essential for our organisms. A true symbiosis exists between humans and microbes, the complex mechanisms of which can only be decoded using molecular genetics. However these bacteria can also cause infectious and parasitic diseases which kill over 15 million people a year throughout the world. To develop effective treatments and vaccines for such diseases, scientists need to know how bacteria outmanoeuvre the body’s defence mechanisms and how to decipher the rules of war and peace between microbes and humans.

Abstract

Notre corps héberge dix fois plus de bactéries qu’il ne contient de cellules. Leur activité est indispensable à notre organisme. Il existe ainsi entre l’homme et les microbes une véritable symbiose dont les mécanismes complexes ne peuvent être décryptés qu’avec les moyens de la génétique moléculaire. Mais ces bactéries provoquent aussi des maladies infectieuses et parasitaires : elles tuent environ quinze millions de personnes chaque année dans le monde. Pour mettre au point des traitements et des vaccins efficaces, il faut comprendre comment elles déjouent les défenses de notre organisme, il faut déchiffrer les règles de la guerre et de la paix entre les microbes et nous. Our bodies contain ten times more bacteria than cells and their activity is essential for our organisms. A true symbiosis exists between Man and microbes, the complex mechanisms of which can only be decoded using molecular genetics. However these bacteria can also cause infectious and parasitic diseases which kill over 15 million people a year throughout the world. To develop effective treatments and vaccines for such diseases, scientists need to know how bacteria outmanoeuvre the body’s defence mechanisms and how to decipher the rules of war and peace between microbes and humans.
