ASA President's Welcome
On behalf of the Australian Society for Antimicrobials, I would like to invite you to the Society’s 26th
Annual Scientific Meeting “Antimicrobials 2027”, to be held at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre on Thursday 25th - Saturday 27th February 2027.
I am pleased to announce that Mario Ramirez from Portugal, Jason Roberts from Queensland, and Romney Humphries from the USA will be joining the Meeting.
Mario will present the plenary "AMR in Group A Streptococcus and S. pneumoniae", Jason will present "Clinical Implications of Pharmacokinetic Variability for Optimised Antimicrobial Dosing", and Romney will present "Rapid Phenotypic AST: Fact or Fiction?".
The 2027 Howard Florey Oration “Using mRNA to Develop Novel Therapeutics for Pathogens of Pandemic Potential” will be delivered by Professor Sharon Lewin AO, Director of the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity and Melbourne Laureate Professor of Medicine at the University of Melbourne.
The programme's symposia cover many different aspects of antimicrobials and sessions, including:
- Changing Patterns, Old Foes
- Balancing Antifungal Stewardship and Antifungal Management in Complex Settings
- Enterococcus
- Emerging Technologies to Improve Clinical Practice
- Public Health
We have scheduled Pharmacy and AusCAST workshops for Saturday afternoon. The agenda includes two literature review sessions featuring Tony Korman's presentation "The Year in Clinical Microbiology" and Amy Legg's presentation "The Year in Antimicrobial Stewardship." Additionally, the meeting will consist of six short proffered paper presentations woven into the symposia sessions, and two Flash Poster Presentation sessions, each featuring eight presentations, and two poster sessions.
To encourage engagement between delegates and invited speakers, the meeting registration includes lunches, as well as morning and afternoon teas, and admission to the Howard Florey Dinner.
I am confident that you will find the meeting's program both scientifically stimulating
and informative.
We look forward to meeting you in Brisbane!
Associate Professor Louise Cooley,
ASA President
