  • (1888PressRelease) March 16, 2018 - SMi reports: Antimicrobial resistance was predicted by Alexander Fleming in his Nobel lecture (1945).

Now in its 20th year, the event has firmly become established as the industry's premier platform for updates on antimicrobial resistance research, funding and incentives.
