Emerging Bacterial Pathogens: Infection Control and Management of Antimicrobial Drug Resistance:

(referred by Moacyr Saffer [safferm@terra.com.br] from Medscape.)

"Mary Anderson: Good afternoon. I'm Dr. Mary Anderson, Clinical Editor, Medscape Infectious Diseases, and I would like to welcome you to this live Web conference, 'Emerging Bacterial Pathogens: Infection Control and Management of Antimicrobial Drug Resistance.' This is a continuing education activity made possible by an independent educational grant from Wyeth.
We will begin with a presentation by Dr. Marin Kollef, who will discuss the epidemiology and institutional control of antibiotic-resistant nosocomial infections, with a focus on nosocomial pneumonia. This will be followed by a presentation from Dr. Louis Rice, who will present data on the treatment options for nosocomial infections caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria.
Each presentation will last around 15-20 minutes, and at some point during each presentation, there will be a simple polling question. At the completion of each presentation, there will be a brief question and answer session.
I would now like to introduce our first presenter, Dr. Marin Kollef, who is Professor of Medicine at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri./.../"
