Prof Thierry Naas’s talk on rapid antimicrobial resistance detection methods was successfully held on 9th October! Prof Naas’s wealth of knowledge and experience molecular epidemiology and transmission dynamics of the AMRs yet easily understandable and useful for daily practice! The event was very well received by the audiences. We would like to thank everyone who attended the seminar that made it a successful event.

The HKSMI Scientific Meeting, titled “Usefulness of Rapid Diagnostics to Tackle AMR,” was held on the evening of 9 October 2024 (Wednesday) at The Cityview, 23 Waterloo Road, Hong Kong. We are honored to have renowned speaker Professor Thierry Naas, who shared with us his expertise on emerging antibiotic resistance.

The scientific meeting was fantastic. Dr. Lily Cheng discussed the topic of anti-fungal susceptibility and Dr. Kurup shared experience on anti-fungal treatment. The collaboration between the Hong Kong Society for Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (HKSMI) and the Society of Infectious Disease was a great success, and we hope to have more opportunities for collaboration in the future.

HKSMI would like to thank Thermofisher and Pfizer for their support, as well as to the members who attended the meeting.
