For those who may not have been able to attend the recent Joint Congress of the European Society for Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases and the International Society of Chemotherapy in Milan, Oxoid provides a round up of the new products shown on the company’s stand in the associated exhibition. A joint meeting of the European Society for Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases and the International Society of Chemotherapy was held in May in Milan. On offer was an excellent scientific programme, running over four days, with stimulating keynote lectures and symposia on parallel tracks, supported by the involvement of a high number of internationally-renowned experts.
The programme provided an ideal opportunity for debate, discuss and exchange important ideas and information in the fields of clinical microbiology, antimicrobial chemotherapy and infectious diseases. In addition, contributions from delegates was welcomed and were presented in oral sessions or poster exhibitions that expanded knowledge of the latest scientific developments in a variety of fields.
The Milano Convention Centre (MIC), located in the centre of the city, has been completely renewed recently and provided an attractive venue to meet old friends and to establish new and interesting contacts. The warm hospitality of this northern Italian city undoubtedly enhanced delegate enjoyment.
In addition to symposia running on each day of the meeting, keynote and award lectures, educational workshops, meet-the-expert sessions and a trainees’ day were also part of an extensive programme. The associated exhibition also provided an opportunity to launch new products, and example being those introduced by Oxoid.
Tigecycline now included
The Oxoid range of M.I.C.Evaluator (M.I.C.E.) strips has been expanded to include the antibiotic tigecycline. This and other recently added antimicrobials, including ceftazidime and amikacin, ensure that the comprehensive M.I.C.E. range for the accurate determination of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values meets the current needs of clinical microbiologists for antimicrobial susceptibility testing.
