Mastering MDR bacterial infections in immunocompromised host: a global perspective

Event Description

This two-day interactive online course provides a global perspective on the epidemiology, diagnosis, prevention, and management of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial infections in immunocompromised patients, including transplant recipients and patients with haematological malignancies. Through expert lectures, debates, case-based discussions, and international roundtables, participants will explore evidence-based treatment strategies, antimicrobial stewardship, and the impact of local epidemiology and healthcare resources on clinical decision-making.

Intended audience

This course is designed for infectious disease physicians, clinical microbiologists, infectious disease pharmacists, infection prevention and control specialists, and antimicrobial stewardship professionals involved in managing bacterial infections in immunocompromised patients. It is also suitable for fellows and trainees in infectious diseases, microbiology, transplantation, haematology, and critical care.

Objectives

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

• Describe the global epidemiology and emerging trends of multidrug-resistant bacterial infections in immunocompromised populations.
• Apply rapid diagnostic methods to support timely and accurate clinical decision-making in immunocompromised patients.
• Compare evidence-based prevention and treatment strategies across different healthcare settings.
• Apply pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) principles and antimicrobial stewardship strategies to optimise antimicrobial therapy.
• Integrate global evidence with local epidemiology and antimicrobial resistance patterns to improve patient management.
