Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the Organizing Committee and the journal Antibiotics (ISSN: 2079-6382, Impact Factor: 5.5, CiteScore: 10.2), it is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 5th International Electronic Conference on Antibiotics—Global Threats and Opportunities: Shaping the Next Generation of Antimicrobials (ECA 2027).
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) remains one of the most pressing global health challenges of our time, threatening decades of progress in medicine, public health, agriculture, and infectious disease control. Addressing this complex issue requires interdisciplinary collaboration across clinical practice, microbiology, epidemiology, ecology, pharmaceutical sciences, and public policy. In this context, ECA 2027 aims to provide a dynamic and interactive platform for researchers, clinicians, healthcare professionals, industry experts, and policymakers worldwide to exchange knowledge, share innovative findings, and discuss emerging strategies to combat AMR.
The scientific program covers a broad range of topics at the forefront of antibiotic research and antimicrobial resistance mitigation, including:
S1. Antibiotic Use in Hospitals and Therapeutic Optimization.
S2. One Health and AMR Ecology.
S3. Antibiotic Resistance Mechanisms and Epidemiological Characteristics.
S4. Conventional Methods and AI-Powered Strategies in Antimicrobial Development.
S5. Biofilm Biology and Antimicrobial Tolerance.
S6. Global Perspectives on Antimicrobial Stewardship and Infection Control Interventions.
Through oral presentations, poster sessions, and scientific discussions, participants will have the opportunity to present their latest research, exchange novel ideas, and explore both established and emerging approaches to antimicrobial discovery, stewardship, surveillance, and resistance intervention. Special attention will be given to innovative technologies, interdisciplinary solutions, and global collaborative efforts that can help address the growing burden of AMR.
We sincerely thank all speakers, authors, reviewers, session chairs, and attendees for their valuable contributions. We hope that ECA 2027 will foster meaningful scientific exchange, inspire new collaborations, and advance collective efforts toward safeguarding the effectiveness of antimicrobial therapies for future generations.
We look forward to welcoming you to ECA 2027 and to an engaging and productive conference experience.
Kind regards,
Prof. Dr. Manuel Simões,
