Held every other year for the past 30 years, the International Conference on Pseudomonas returns to the U.S. in 2015, and is organized this year by the American Society for Microbiology (ASM) as part of the ASM Conferences program. Pseudomonas 2015 will explore interdisciplinary approaches to study the mechanisms by which Pseudomonas causes disease and affects the environment. Platforms for manipulating these pathways will continue to provide promising strategies for modulating microbial behaviors for applications in medicine, agriculture and industry. Don’t miss your…

Next generation sequencing (NGS) of pathogens whole genomes is revolutionizing the science behind clinical diagnostics, epidemiology, and the field of microbiology in general. Never before have scientists had access to, and been able to analyze and compare thousands of complete genomic sequences of bacteria, parasites and viruses. This vast amount of genomic data permits a better understanding of virulence traits, adaptability to food manufacturing environments, geographical traceability and transmission to humans, along with a host of other valuable information. Conference…

Biofilms, surface-associated microbial communities composed of aggregates of cells that are encased by an extracellular matrix, have a tremendous impact on industrial, clinical, and natural environments. The 7th ASM Conference on Biofilms will provide a platform to discuss the latest research, covering topics that include molecular basis and regulation of biofilm formation, biofilms in natural and industrial systems, diagnosis and study of clinically-relevant biofilms, and emerging technologies and their application to biofilms. The conference will help foster the interdisciplinary discourse…

This conference focuses on the animal and public health aspects of methicillin-resistant staphylococci (MRS), including transmission of MRS between humans and animals (including livestock, companion animals and wildlife); livestock-associated MRSA in the healthcare facilities and the community; diagnosis, management and prevention of infections in animals; infection control in hospitals, the community and in animal production, and the role of antimicrobial use in the dissemination of MRS. With sessions on the epidemiology of livestock-associated MRSA (LA-MRSA); the epidemiology of MRSA and…
