Establishing the Role of Infectious Diseases & Clinical Microbiology Societies

ISAC/ESCMID

This webinar, hosted jointly by ISAC and ESCMID, explored how professional infectious disease and clinical microbiology societies function worldwide, especially in the context of antimicrobial resistance (AMR).

Prof. Heiman Wertheim presented the results of a global survey on this topic and highlights key insights into governance, resources, and involvement in national AMR action plans.

These results were first published in the Journal of Global Antimicrobial Resistance (JGAR), an ISAC journal

Also in this webinar, hear about the activities of ISAC and ESCMID from the society Presidents, Prof. Souha Kanj (ISAC) and Prof. Robert Skov (ESCMID).

The Built Environment of the Hospital and Nosocomial Infections: Sources and Transmission Routes

ISAC / ESCMID webinar

AMR in low resource settings and / or displaced populations

ISAC / ESCMID

The joint ISAC / ESCMID webinar explored the challenges of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in low-resource settings and displaced populations, highlighting practical solutions for infection control. It sought to promote global collaboration and innovative strategies to address AMR in these vulnerable communities.

One health aspects of AMR and infections in Asia

Asia Pacific Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infection

Antimicrobial resistance is a slow-burn pandemic that cannot be solved without multisectoral One Health approach. Nipah virus and severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) caused by tick-borne Bandavirus are emerging viral infections of significant mortality in South and East Asia respectively.

This webinar brings experts from the Asia Pacific to share on these three areas to stimulate dialogue and collaboration in our international infectious disease community.

Multidrug resistance (MDR) Gram-negative bacilli

Japanese Society of Chemotherapy

International experts presented up-to-date, informative talks on defining MDR in Gram negative bacilli, mechanisms of resistance, rapid molecular diagnostics, current treatment options, basic research on novel antibiotics and ultraviolet disinfection for infection control.
