Control of infectious diseases through use of antimicrobials is a foundation of modern medicine. Use of antimicrobials has enabled implementation of novel therapeutic modalities, secure in the knowledge that infectious complications can be managed. Antimicrobials have contributed to a reduction in infection-related maternal and neonatal mortality, facilitated safe surgical practices, played a role in the successful treatment of cancer and transplant patients and allowed management of infections in all age groups. Antimicrobials have furthermore played a major part in food safety. Use of antimicrobials to prevent diseases in farm animals and in crops allowed increase in agricultural output to sustain the expanding global population. The emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) which threatens this progress is thus recognized as a threat to global health, development and security. There is recognition that efforts to control AMR are essential for sustaining gains as well as for future advancements. It is for this reason that the theme of this year‘s symposium is ―Antimicrobial Resistance; an opportunity to transform global health‖. National and international leaders in the field will focus on different aspects of the problem; tackling AMR at a global level and over view of the problem in the region. The recent outbreak of extensively drug resistant typhoid, as well as new diagnostic approaches to AMR will be discussed. Other sessions will address policy issues around AMR and highlight its implications in the clinical settings and as a one health problem. Scientists will present studies exploring its molecular and cellular basis. Implications for public health and disease control efforts will be debated, together with new technology for AMR surveillance. Participants will find a programme of highest scientific quality with inaugural talks, plenary sessions and invited talks by leading experts in the field, and free papers, e-posters and posters selected from among the best abstracts. The symposium also includes an Ignite session, an innovative and creative platform, which will be of great interest to many. We hope you will enjoy the symposium and take the opportunity to meet friends and colleagues. We warmly welcome you to the Aga Khan University and to Karachi and are excited that you are part of this symposium, and wish you a fruitful symposium.
