author/source: SMi Group Ltd

Superbug's and Superdrug's 2016

Have superbugs breached the last line of antibiotic defences for the first time? Industry gathers next March to collaborate on tackling antimicrobial resistance

With a focus on pushing financial and collaborative incentives to accelerate clinical success of antibiotic drugs, the agenda for SMi’s 18th annual summit on Superbugs & Superdrugs will spotlight on models for successful partnerships, progressive R&D, strengthening the antibiotic pipeline and pioneering approaches to "smart" antibiotics.

The timely event follows on from recent news confirming that superbugs resistant to all antibiotics, have spread to Europe for the first time after it was revealed a patient in Denmark has become infected with an untreatable form of salmonella. Experts fear it is the start of a global epidemic of untreatable infections.*

The advisory board for SMi's 18th annual Conference "Superbugs & Superdugs" said: "To combat potential epidemic requires both industry and government collaboration on an international level in antibiotics R&D investments, preventive measures and emergency response"

The programme for the established industry gathering will provide 12 insights into tackling antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
