Oxford Global Conferences are delighted to announce that the 2 nd Annual Microbiology & Infectious Diseases Asia Congress, which took place on the 23 rd & 24 th June 2015 in Singapore, received glowing feedback from the 125 delegates who attended. The conference provided delegates with the unique opportunity to hear highly acknowledged experts discuss their latest research results in detection and diagnosis technologies, clinical microbiology and emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases. Ensuring only the best quality speakers from top pharma companies and academic institutions were selected, presentations included:

 • Study of the Evolution of Antibiotic Resistance in Ecuador During the Last Five Years:Monica Cartelle Gestal, P.I., Biomedical Research Unit, Zurita & Zurita Laboratories, Ecuador
 • Understanding Sequence Variation and Function of fimS, a Crucial Regulatory Element of UPEC Virulence, Through Mutagenesis and Next-Generation Sequencing: Swaine Chen, Assistant Professor,National University of Singapore and Genome Institute of Singapore, Singapore
 • Viral Inflammatory Diseases: New Insights into Disease Mechanisms, Therapeutic Approaches and Human Studies: Suresh Mahalingam, Principal Research Leader, Griffith University, Australia
 • How Salmonella Survives the Acid Stress of the Macrophage Vacuole to Drive Type Three Secretion: Linda J. Kenney, Professor, Mechanobiology Institute, National University of Singapore, Singapore

We would like to thank all delegates for providing us with testimonials from across the two days,including:

“Thank you very much for a very smooth-running 2nd Annual Microbiology & Infectious Diseases Asia Congress. It has been a most mentally stimulating and insightful couple of days and I certainly enjoyed  my time at the Congress. I just thought I’d drop a simple word of thanks and gratitude”. Research Associate, Singapore Polytechnic

“Diversity of topics was very impressive. I liked that there was a mixture of presentations between those on a general theme, and others on more specialised, focused issues such as ecology and bacteriology. The extensive range and expertise of the speakers was also noteworthy”. Infectious Diseases Consultant, Chinese General Hospital

“Good exposure to a range of subjects - one is not normally exposed to such a specialised conference. 25 minute presentations were a perfect length, and it was excellently organised. I was very impressed and didn’t want it to end!” Group Leader, QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute, Australia

“There were relevant topics, and I learnt about new skills that I can take back to my clinical practice. I  was able to gain an understanding of infectious diseases from a molecular point of view”. Infectious Disease Specialist, Manila Doctors Hospital

“A well represented meeting, with a range of themes, my favourites were those relating to microbial pathogens in South East Asia. There were also many opportunities to meet and interact with old and new colleagues. The Solution Providers were excellent too”. Emeritus Professor, Macfarlane Burnet Institute for Medical Research & Public Health,Australia

Following the event, we analyse statistics and feedback from attendees, and we are proud to announce that we achieved an “Above Average” or “Excellent” rating in all categories including:
 • Overall organisation of the Congress
 • Format of the Congress
 • Quality and relevance of Solution Providers

This is great news for everyone involved in the production of the 2nd Annual Microbiology & Infectious Diseases Asia Congress.
