  2. Bacterial Communication and Biofilm Development 2009 Mini-Symposium Session II : Microbes of Biofilm: Development, Control, and Clinical Significance (Chair: Tai-Hyun Park, Seoul Nat’l Univ., Seoul, Korea) 16:00 – 16:40 Prof. Matthew R. Parsek (University of Washington, Seattle, USA) “P. aeruginosa Uses a Secreted Adhesion to Reinforce the Biofilm EPS Matrix” 16:40 – 17:10 Prof. Jeyong Yoon (Seoul Nat’l Univ., Seoul, Korea) “Bacterial Adhesion Control by Electric Field Stimulation” 17:10 – 17:40 Prof. Sug-Joon Ahn (Seoul Nat’l Univ., Seoul, Korea) “Biofilm Research in Clinical Dentistry” 17:40 Closing Remarks May. 27 (Wednesday) 13:30 Registration and Opening Remarks Session I: Inter-Microbial and Microbe-Host Communication (Chair: Sangryeol Ryu, Seoul Nat’l Univ., Seoul, Korea) 14:00 – 14:40 Prof. Bonnie L.

The symposium will be hosted by the National Research Laboratory of Molecular Microbiology and Toxicology, Seoul National University, Seoul, Korea, on May 27, 2009. Bacteria has developed an elaborate system of communication amongst each other and with a host. It has become evident that bacterial communication plays an important role in pathogenesis and biofilm development. This symposium consists of two sessions and features six prominent speakers. In Session I, recent progress in the field of cell-to-cell communication in the bacterial community and in host-microbe interaction will be presented. In Session II, key issues recently discovered in biofilm development will be addressed. Control practices to inhibit biofilm development and clinical significance of biofilm will also be discussed. I sincerely hope that many microbiologists in both academic and industrial avenues will be able to participate in this symposium and share recent data and knowledge on this topic. I welcome you all and hope to see you on May 27 in Seoul. Dr. Sang Ho Choi, Director of the NRL of Molecular Microbiology and Toxicology, Seoul National University
