title: Pathogenesis--Thoughts from the Front Line.
abstract: The field of bacterial pathogenesis has advanced dramatically in the last decade. High throughput molecular technologies have empowered scientists as never before. However, there remain some limitations, misconceptions and ambiguities in the field that may bedevil even the experienced investigator. Here, I consider some of the unanswered questions that are not readily tractable to even the most powerful technology.
