A Workshop on Chlamydial Infection was held in Prague, Czech Republic, on April 18, 2009. Featured International speakers were Prof. Trevor Marshall, Prof. Subramaniam Sririam (from Vanderbilt) and Prof. Thomas Rudel (from Wuerzburg).

This is the first of two presentations given by Prof. Marshall at that event. This presentation is titled "It is time to bury Koch - Infectious Disease transitions to an understanding of the Metagenome." Prof. Marshall uses the HIV and M.tuberculosis genomes to illustrate how the Th1 metagenomic microbiota interacts with the human genome to cause chronic disease.
