We look forward to welcoming you to Manila for a premier gathering of global experts in Infectious Diseases and Microbiology, researchers, and healthcare professionals dedicated to advancing antimicrobial chemotherapy and management of infectious diseases. The Scientific Committee of the Congress has prepared an exceptional program of plenary lectures, keynote speeches, simultaneous symposia, and workshops with a line-up of world-renowned experts in the field of microbiology and antimicrobial chemotherapy. We also invite research teams to share their findings through oral and poster presentations to be chosen from submitted abstracts.

Come and be part of insightful sessions, groundbreaking research presentations, and lively discussions that will shape the future of antimicrobial use and infectious diseases.

As the biennial congress of the International Society of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy (ISAC) (http://www.isac.world) the ICC is an important event in the field of infectious diseases and clinical microbiology worldwide. In 2026, the congress will be co-hosted by the Philippine Society for Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (www.psmid.org.ph), a member of ISAC.

The 2026 Congress in Manila will provide a unique platform for professionals to interact, learn, and exchange ideas, fostering new collaborations andw partnerships.
