ECCMID, as the world's premier Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases event, brings together experts from many fields to present their latest findings, guidelines and experiences to an audience of over 14,000 colleagues. This year, the congress will feature a hybrid format to facilitate an onsite and online experience for attendees allowing for remote and face-to-face opportunities to take part in the multifaceted programme. The Programme Committee has developed a comprehensive scientific and educational programme incorporating Keynote Lectures and Oral Sessions, as well as Educational Workshops, Open Forums, Meet-The-Expert Sessions and a wide range of Scientific Symposia.

Join us at our Integrated Symposium at ECCMID 2022 on Sunday 24th April 2022 at 13:30 - 15:30pm.

Evolution of rapid metagenomics for infectious disease applications

Clinical metagenomics has emerged as a powerful tool that can identify microbial pathogens and detect antimicrobial resistance in clinical settings. In this seminar session, leading researchers will present on the development and application of rapid metagenomics pipelines that identify pathogens and offer the future potential to support targeted antimicrobial therapeutic decisions for patients with infectious disease.
