9th Antibiotics Webinar

Antibiotic Resistance: Recent Developments in Epidemiology and Implications for Patients and Healthcare Professionals

We would like to warmly welcome all those interested to a webinar on "Antibiotic Resistance: Recent Developments in Epidemiology and Implications for Patients and Healthcare Professionals," which will take place on September 12 at 14:00 (CET).

This is a very critical topic at this time, as the growing challenge of antibiotic resistance continues to have a significant impact on public health globally. The objective of this webinar will be to explore the latest findings in the epidemiology of antibiotic resistance and discuss what these new developments mean for clinical practice and, above all, for patient care.

We encourage all interested parties to participate in this important discussion, and we are confident that the session will be highly engaging and productive.

Date: 12 September 2025

Time: 2:00 pm CEST | 8:00 am EDT | 8:00 pm CST Asia
