Interactions with colleagues on research endeavors are the cornerstone to building communications that allow all of us to provide better healthcare.

In view of the recent emergence of the pandemic H1N1 09 virus, ASM is aware that there is much new information which is of great interest to participants of ICAAC. We have scheduled a dedicated Late-breaker oral session and a Late-breaker poster session on this subject. All those interested in submitting Late-breaker abstracts on pandemic H1N1 are requested to submit these via the online submission process by Friday, July 24.

More than 10,000 physicians, researchers and other healthcare professionals from around the globe gather each year at ICAAC to foster worldwide solutions to the problem of infectious diseases. To enrich the attendee experience, the ICAAC Program Committee selects a faculty that includes internationally renowned scientists and complements the invited program with slide and poster abstract presentations. The 49th ICAAC is expected to be another successful educational event and an opportunity to exchange the latest information with scientists from around the world.
