We invite you to take part in this conference, sponsored by the MRSA Working Group of the International Society of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy (ISAC), to review national and regional surveillance programs for Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).
The first meeting will include brief presentations from laboratories in several countries that undertake MRSA surveillance. This will be followed by a period of moderated discussion to assess best practices. The goals are to understand the variety of approaches to surveillance worldwide and to develop principles that may underlie future harmonization of surveillance methods.
Please note that attendees will be able to download a certifcate of attendance during the webinar.
