The behaviour of microbes.
Viruses and bacteria have complex interactions with their hosts, beyond mere replication in them. They range from those that are detrimental, to others that may be non-pathogenic or even beneficial. Molecular techniques can help to unravel these interactions, sometimes revealing phenomena that benefit host as well as microbial populations.
