6th European Conference on Bloodstream Infections

The Working Group on Endocarditis of the International Society for Chemotherapy proudly organizes the on the 6 and 7 June 2015 in Vravrona,Greece. Ôhis conference is far different in structure and content compared to the previous five conferences: having as a main aim the information of the attendees on the available modules of management of the worldwide “tsunami” of antimicrobial resistance, we aim to provide major emphasis on the use of biomarkers to guide antimicrobial treatment. To this end, the conference is hosting a workshop of the COST initiative Raman4Clinics that aims to the expansion of the notion of new biomarkers for the management of the critically ill patient. We take this opportunity to collaborate with one EU funded project of the European Collaboration in Science and Technology (COST) and to broaden our knowledge on the challenges provided through EU funded projects for the development of new concepts of personalized medical treatment. In parallel, a thorough review of treatment modalities for bloodstream infections is provided by international experts in the field.
This year’s conference is also hosted by all members of the Hellenic Sepsis Study Group who dynamically continue an expanding research activity for the challenges of the critical illness and provide pioneer peer review publications.
