Webinar - tomorrow

"Insights of antimicrobial therapy in biofilm-associated infections: the clinical paradigm of prosthetic joint infections" will take place on 22 December 2021 @ 11.30 (CET) / 18.30 (CST) / 21.30 (AEDT).

ISAC invites you to join the second of two free webinars organised by its Anti-Infective Pharmacology Working Group.

Dr Jaime Lora-Tamayo (Hospital University 12 de Octubre, Madrid, Spain) will provide an overview of biofilm-associated infections by using the specific problems of prosthetic joint infections as example. Dr Lora-Tamayo will focus on the antimicrobial treatment of these infections.

The first session by IJAA Editor in Chief, Jean-Marc Rolain was on "New Roles of beta-lactamase enzymes". The recording will be available soon. 

Over the last years, the discovery of beta-lactamase encoding sequences in different organisms and also in humans and arthropods, has opened a new field of research of their roles, since these enzymes are multi-functional and have a very ancient evolution in kingdom of life. This talk will provide some examples of such discovery, including new roles of these enzymes in different fields.
