Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a significant public health threat globally, and multi-drug resistant infections are predicted to only worsen over time (United Nations Foundation, 2021). In 2019, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that more than 2.8 million cases of antibiotic-resistant infections occur annually in the US, resulting in 35,000 deaths (CDC, 2019). Increased incidence of hypervirulent and multidrug resistant (MDR) bacterial pathogens has been attributed to the use, overuse, and misuse of antibiotics (FAO, 2016). However, AMR is a complex problem at the intersection of human, animal and environmental health (“One Health”) that can only be addressed through a multidisciplinary approach.
We welcome a diverse audience including not only academics, but medical and veterinary practitioners, and individuals working in the areas of public health, food production, food safety and biotechnology. The meeting has been designed to facilitate networking and collaborations so we can tackle AMR together.Join our conference Roundtable Discussions. Our discussion topics consist of: Dynamics, Deterrence, Determinants, and Conference Experience (please only provide feedback during the conference)
All are encouraged to submit a poster. A $200 first-place prize and $100 second-place prize will be awarded in each of the following categories:
Poster judging will occur in advance of the conference and will be based solely on the abstract and poster submitted. Non-competitive poster submissions are welcome.
Please note that the last day posters and abstracts will be accepted is 4pm on March 20, 2023.
The conference keynote talks and sessions will be held at Purdue's Stewart Center . In the nearby and newly-renovated Purdue Memorial Union you'll find a number of great restaurants and coffee shops.
