2ND INDEPTH-REACT WORKSHOP ON ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE

15 May 2010

On May 9-11, 2010 the 2nd INDEPTH-ReAct Workshop on Antibiotic Resistance was held in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh.

Hosted by the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research (ICDDR, B), the workshop was arranged as a follow-up to the October 2009 exploratory workshop in Pune ,India

The aim of the 2nd workshop was to develop a cross-site research proposal on issues related to antibiotic resistance and to discuss strategies to monitor antibiotic resistance and use within the INDEPTH network.

The need for a global surveillance system for antibiotic resistance is critical and the INDEPTH HDSS centres are uniquely positioned to generate data in areas where there currently is little or no information available.

- I am very excited about this opportunity and the workshop was very productive, said ReAct Director Andreas Heddini.
