[Guest guest]

Dear Colleagues,

You are invited to the 1st Global Forum on Bacterial Infections: Balancing

Treatment Access and Antibiotic Resistance, to be held at the India Habitat

Centre in New Delhi, India, 3–5 October 2011.

The Global Forum, sponsored by the Center for Disease Dynamics, Economics &

Policy (CDDEP) and the Public Health Foundation of India, will focus on the

burden of bacterial infections in the developing world.

Other topics will include:

Hospital-acquired infections (including pneumonia and sepsis) and hospital

infection control

Antibiotic resistance in public, private and mission sectors

Community-acquired pneumonia

Antibiotic stewardship

Use of antibiotics in the community and in hospitals and other healthcare

facilities

Vaccines

Antibiotics in livestock and other food animals

Policy responses to expand antibiotic access while limiting the spread of

resistance

The Global Forum will be the first gathering of its kind held in a developing

country. We anticipate welcoming more than 600 researchers, clinicians, public

health program managers and policymakers, most from low- and middle-income

countries. Participants from both public and private sector organisations will

share research findings, challenges and solutions relevant to the developing

world.
