Achievements and prospect of research work on important pathogenic microorganisms / 解放军医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To review the current situation and developments of researches into important pathogenic microorganisms domestically and abroad,and to suggest the orientation of research work and development in pathogenic microbiology in PLA.Methods The achievements and advances of research work achieved domestically and abroad in the past five years regarding important viruses(such as hepatitis viruses,human immunodeficiency virus,influenza virus,encephalitis viruses and hantaanvirus)and bacteria (such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis,Streptococcus suis serotype 2,Yersinia pestis,Bacillus anthracis and Helicobacterp ylori)were retrieved and reviewed using intelligence research methods.Results Infectious diseases caused by pathogenic microorganisms were the most severe hazards to health and life of human beings.Especially in the past thirty years,newly emerging infectious diseases and recurrence of previonsly controlled infectious diseases had received wide attention.Infectious diseases control had been greatly improved owing to the increasing discoveries in the knowledge about pathogenic microorganisms.Conclusions During the period of "Twelfth Five-Years Plan" ,a big team of science and technology personnel with strong innovative ability in the domain of medical microbiology should be brought up in PLA;and a number of advanced and consummate research bases and technology platforms should be built up;to apply for and realize a batch of major research projects,strive to make a number of scientific achievements with innovation and important application prospects,improve the transformation efficiency of scientific and technological achievements and contribution of scientific and technological progress,and strive to achieve important progresses and breakthrough in mainstream research.
