DESCRIPTION:Bacterial Infections can prevented using vaccines and treated 
 using antibiotics. Sounds great! Unfortunately\, the ability of bacteria t
 o evolve rapidly and evade both of these important interventions presents 
 a significant ongoing threat to human and animal health. By studying\nthe 
 bacterial genetics in detail we can learn about the genetic changes that o
 ccur as resistance develops and try to understand how the wider species po
 pulations evolve in response to the interventions. In this way we can impr
 ove our ability to detect problems\, potentially before\nthey occur\, and 
 inform new intervention strategies that may be less susceptible to the evo
 lution and spread of resistance. The three talks of this masterclass will 
 explore different  aspects of this problem\, all in the light of evolution
