Addressing the issues of antibiotic resistance at the Superbugs and Superdrugs Conference 2019
SMi reports: SMi’s highly anticipated Superbugs & Superdrugs conference is set to return to London, UK for its 21st year running, on the 18th & 19th March 2019.
- (1888PressRelease) January 10, 2019 - After 20 years of unparalleled success, SMi’s Superbugs & Superdrugs conference is returning to London to explore the latest advancements in the antibiotics industry and provide delegates with a comprehensive overview of new developments in alternative therapies.
One of the biggest threats facing humanity is antibiotic resistance, which research has found adds $20 - $35bn in health care costs annually in America. Not only is this a financial burden for the economy, multidrug-resistant infections kill over 30,000 people every year in Europe (source: statnews.com)
The problem of developing and commercialising novel antibiotics whilst making a return for investors at the same time continues to be a big issue in the industry. Organisations considering an investment in novel anti-infectives face considerable commercial headwinds even though there's an obvious and urgent need.
This year’s Superbugs & Superdrugs event aims to address these issues by hosting a two-day international gathering of senior industry experts, scientific pioneers, and academics sharing their valuable thoughts and perspectives on the subject.
The brochure is available to download on the website, with the full program of presentations and the official speaker line-up. Interested parties can keep up to date with the latest conference news and learn more about the event at http://www.superbugssuperdrugs.com/1888press .

Ltd., Akthelia Pharmaceuticals, Aberdeen University and Grampian University Hospitals, University of North Texas Health Science Center, LifeArc, and many more.
