Introduction

The program is expected to attract 400 international participants and will provide a fantastic forum for researchers in the field to network and discuss new ways to solve the global challenge of drug-resistant infections. Our goal for SDRI 2017 is to lead a concerted discussion to set three priorities and guide research efforts towards global solutions for drug resistance research.

Conference themes:

• Antimicrobial drug discovery
