This five-day intensive course for NDPIA members introduces antibiotic resistance from a microbial perspective and from a clinical – One Health perspective.
The course gives an in-depth overview on:
- the modes of action of different antibiotics and how microbes resist the effects of the antibiotics,
- diagnostic methods to detect known and novel resistance genes,
- the origins of resistance genes and the biological cost of resistance for the microbe, and
-
modern methodology for new antibiotic development and alternative therapeutics for infectious disease
When: 15-19 April, 2024
Where: Stora Brännbo, Sigtuna
Registration deadline: 14 February, 2024
Abstract submission deadline: 4 March, 2024

Summary of the 10th National Infection Biology and Swedish Microbiology Meeting
The tenth National Infection Biology and Swedish Microbiology Meeting 2023 was held at Aronsborgs Konferenshotell in Bålstad during 23-24 October 2023. The meeting was co-organized by the National Doctoral Programme in Infections and Antibiotics (NDPIA; www.ndpia.se) and the Swedish Society for Microbiology (SFM; www.mikrobiologi.net/sfm) with the aims to enhance cross-disciplinary research in Sweden within the fields of infection biology and microbiology as well as to strengthen the Swedish network of scientists within these fields.
Microorganisms are found nearly everywhere, and their versatile activities greatly impact our health and the environment, both positively and negatively. Microbiology research, now an integrative science, is vital for addressing certain global ambitions and challenges, such as disease prevention and treatment, maintaining our health, and protecting our food and water.
Current state-of-the-art microbiology research in Sweden will be presented by invited speakers within the sub-disciplines of bacteriology, virology, eukaryotic microbiology, host response, and environmental microbiology. In addition, 16 oral presentations have been selected from the poster abstract submissions and poster walks are organized allowing participants to present and discuss their work with other participants.
Many thanks to the organizing committee
