Thank you to all speakers and attendees for joining ISAC's recent webinar which was hosted by the Alliance for the Prudent Use of Antibiotics (APUA).
If you were not able to join the session live, you can watch the on-demand recording.
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.
Watch the recording to hear from three worldwide experts in the field of superinfections who shared with us the main features of these hot topics.
