This Focused Meeting will take place 27–28 October 2022 at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland.

The gut microbiome plays a crucial role in determining health and wellbeing, influencing the development of the immune system and its interactions with pathogenic microbes. Changes in the microbiome can significantly alter health status and contribute to the development of intestinal infection, with an altered microbiome being found to confer resistance to or promote infection by pathogenic bacteria.

This meeting will provide insights into the current state of research in the field, offering opportunities for collaboration and to foster new ideas.

Key topics

  • Gut Microbiome in health and disease
  • Antimicrobial resistance in bacteria
  • New sources of antimicrobials
  • Bioactives including effector organisms, probiotics and postbiotics

Discounted registration rates are available for Microbiology Society members, as well as an early bird rate available until Monday 12 September.
