BactInflam Workshop

BactInflam: a French delegation in Brazil

As part of the LIA (International Joint Laboratory) BactInflam project, several researchers from INRAE Rennes travelled to Belo Horizonte in Brazil. The aim of the LIA is to identify the bacterial determinants involved in pro- or anti-inflammatory effects in various contexts (IBD and mastitis) and to characterize inflammatory processes, using mammary gland and intestinal models as a starting point.

The visit also provided an opportunity for Éric Guédon, Director of Research in STLO's Microbio team, to give a lecture entitled “Bacterial Extracellular vesicles as new players in bacteria-host interactions”, as part of the LIA workshop “Innovations in Immunobiotics: impacts on animal, human, and environmental health”.
