Viral Respiratory Tract Infections (RTIs): superinfections
Organised by the Alliance for the Prudent use of Antibiotics (APUA)
13 June 2023 at 11.00 (GMT) / 12.00 (CET)*
Superinfection of viral respiratory infection has been one of the hottest topics during the first waves of COVID-19: although it was rapidly demonstrated that coinfections were rare during the first days, fungal or bacterial superinfections was a major cause of death for intensive care unit patients on various immunosuppressive treatments (dexamethasone, IL6-inhibitors, etc.), who required prolonged mechanical ventilation. More recently, the burden of Group A streptococci superinfections have dramatically increased, in children and in adults, for reasons that still remain unclear.
APUA has invited three worldwide experts in the field of superinfections to share with us the main features of these hot topics.

The benefits of routine-based sequencing of pathogens
16 May 2023 at 12.00 (GMT) / 13.00 (CET)*
Next generation sequencing (NGS)-based typing of pathogens has increasingly been applied in public health and nosocomial infection control as part of outbreak response.
This increased capacity for rapid typing allows for identification of outbreak sources and transmission of pathogens.
Early identification of clonal spread of pathogens through contaminated medical instruments can save patients lives!
In this webinar, successful experiences in the application of NGS-based typing are presented, underlining the benefits of timely large scale typing for health care.
Attendees will receive a certificate of attendance after the webinar.
