Day 1: A Focus on Antimicrobial Resistance

"On the Front Line"

Hear from those fighting against antimicrobial resistance on the front line.

• Antimicrobial resistance: still widely misunderstood
• MRSA: adapted to survive and thrive
• Inter-clonal wars: bacterial competition and global success in the hospital setting
• What would we do without antibiotics?
• State of the World’s antibiotics
• Dispatches: Pan-drug-resistant doom – are we there yet?
• Reflections from the front line: why doctors don’t listen to the ‘impending doom’ of antibiotic resistance

Test your knowledge on antimicrobials and global resistance.
