The aim of this free symposium is to gather some of the most active European scientists in the field to discuss mechanisms and evidence around the role of metals and biocides in the selection of antibiotic resistant bacteria, both from an evolutionary, environmental and clinical point of view. The symposium will feature state-of-the art presentations from leading European scientists (see below), up to ten shorter presentations selected from submitted abstracts and a panel discussion.
