Superbugs & Superdrugs 2016

16 March 2016 08:30 - 17 March 2016 18:40, London , United Kingdom


Introduction
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a serious global threat. To combat potential epidemic, requires both industry and government collaboration on an international level in antibiotic R&D investment, preventive measures and emergency response. As new resistance mechanisms rapidly spread throughout the developed and developing nations, our existing antibiotic pipeline is under greater risk of failing to resolve many standard medical treatments, and achievements in modern standard medicine and surgery are being compromised.
 
Expanding horizons on the growing global threat of AMR for almost two decades, Superbugs & Superdrugs will once again play host to an international audience of anti-infective industry experts, providing a focal point to discuss the latest clinical advancements and funding opportunities.
