AMR-SHIELD 2026
Antimicrobial Resistance: Surveillance from Street to
Hospital for Integrated Epidemiology and Local Defence International
The National Conference on Antimicrobial Resistance: Surveillance from Street to Hospital for Integrated Epidemiology and Local Defense (AMR-SHIELD) is envisioned as a multidisciplinary platform to address the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance across community and clinical settings. The conference aims to bring together academicians, clinicians, microbiologists, public health professionals, policymakers, and young researchers to deliberate on AMR surveillance, transmission pathways, and containment strategies. By adopting a “One Health” perspective, the seminar emphasizes the continuum of resistance from environmental and community sources to hospitals, highlighting the need for coordinated epidemiological approaches and locally relevant defence mechanisms.
Conference Objectives:
- To discuss current and emerging surveillance tools for early detection and monitoring of AMR at local and regional levels.
- To promote integration of clinical, environmental, and molecular data for effective AMR control strategies.
- To encourage development of locally adaptable antimicrobial stewardship and infection prevention policies.
- To foster interdisciplinary collaboration and capacity building among researchers, healthcare professionals, and public health stakeholders.
Seminar Highlights:
- Keynote Addresses: Eminent scientists, policy makers and industry leaders will share their insights on the advancements in the field of AMR.
- Scientific Sessions: Presentations by renowned researchers, policymakers and social workers on various topics to AMR and surveillance tools for early detection and monitoring of AMR.
- Oral Paper Presentation: Best three oral presenters will be awarded with first, second and third prize for the best presentation and research work.
- Poster Presentations: A platform for researchers and students to showcase their latest findings and engage in scientific discussions. Three prizes (first, second and third) will be given best poster presenters.
- Networking Opportunities: Informal gatherings, networking sessions, and social events to facilitate interactions and collaborations among attendees.
