During infection, phagocytes generate nitric oxide (NO·), which protects the host by inhibiting the growth of pathogenic microbes. This lecture will explore mechanisms of NO-dependent antimicrobial activity and NO-resistance in two important bacterial pathogens, Salmonella enterica and Staphylococcus aureus.

Ferric C. Fang, M.D., is a professor of laboratory medicine, pathology and microbiology at the University of Washington. He received his undergraduate and medical education at Harvard University. His research interests include transcriptional regulation, stress responses, metal metabolism and phagocyte-bacterial interactions.
