6th Forum on Respiratory Tract Infections

November 28-30 2012 Barcelona, Spain

The 6th RTI Forum in the series is now proposed in response to important advances and novel issues in the matters of epidemiological, diagnostic and therapeutic events, including significant new agents, both anti-microbial and adjunctive, early recognition of bacterial disease (and rapid pathogen identification) and preventative vaccines. Most of these will be approaching the clinical interface within the next 2-3 years. They urgently merit both objective interdisciplinary evaluation and wider dissemination to leaders in their clinical application. The 6th RTI Forum offers a unique opportunity to discuss these issue with experts in respiratory Infection in an intimate and informal atmosphere and we hope to welcome you in Barcelona!

Topics for RTI 2012 Forum include:

The continued role of Ps aeruginosa in broncho-pulmonary disease.
The “Last” antibiotic decade (the possible future without antibiotics)
The re-emergence of preventable respiratory disease: pertussis, measles, varicella, mumps
