Microbes present a major threat to human health in the 21st century. Almost every day we hear reports on the increase of hospital acquired infections, the rise in the number of bacterial species becoming resistant to existing antibiotics and the microbial contamination of food.

The increased challenges to combat microbes impacts far beyond the healthcare sector and microbial control must be improved in food, agriculture, environment and water processing industries.  Microbial mechanisms, epidemiology, clinical importance, treatment and contamination control strategies, and prevention of antimicrobial resistance are a major challenge to all.

Delivered by the Centre for NanoHealth at Swansea University, a thriving research centre with strong industrial engagement , this FREE networking event will look at how the health communities, industry, Government and research institutions can work together to meet these worldwide challenges head on.

Topics presented will include:

• Improve the knowledge and understanding of antimicrobial resistance and control
• Stimulate the development of new antimicrobial products such as novel therapies/treatments, diagnostics and antimicrobial surfaces.
• Working together to meet these worldwide challenges

Who should attend? Anyone who operates within:
