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, 2024). 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.
This conference will be offered both in person and virtually, providing an opportunity for participants to engage regardless of travel limitations or scheduling constraints. We welcome a diverse audience including not only academics, but also medical and veterinary practitioners, and individuals working in public health, food production, food safety, and biotechnology. The meeting has been designed to facilitate networking and collaborations so we can tackle AMR together—whether attending on site or online.
