The rise of multidrug resistance at an alarming rate constitutes a major threat to human health.

This symposium will focus on the current challenges that basic and translational researchers are facing to fight antimicrobial resistance, as well as offering perspectives on emerging therapeutic strategies to address this global health threat.
