Organization
The Federation of European Microbiological Societies is governed by a Council of Member Society Representatives (Delegates) and a Board of Directors. The FEMS Team runs its operations from Delft, The Netherlands. The FEMS Council meets annually with participants consisting of Delegates from all Member Societies, alongside officers of the Board of Directors. The Council Meetings and the 44th Annual General Meeting were held in Warsaw, Poland on 8-9 September 2018.

Phage defense mechanisms in the fish pathogen Vibrio anguillarum
Vibrio anguillarum is a marine bacterium that can cause vibriosis in many fish and shellfish species. Although phage therapy has been proposed as an alternative treatment, the defense mechanisms against phage infection in V. anguillarum and their impact on host function are not fully understood. Here, we examined phage defense strategies in four V. anguillarum strains during exposure to the broad-host-range bacteriophage KVP40.
