Now onto the keynote by Carolyn Reynolds, a UVA alumna: What the World (Still) Needs to Do to Prevent the Next Pandemic
Now her priorities derived from those experiences:
In closing, she makes multiple comparisons between preparedness for military and pandemic threats, especially in Virginia with its strong military presence/ roots/ culture. Closes off with reference to the 1918 pandemic |

Martin Wu, Resistance prediction of Clostridium difficile infection
In clinical practice, anibiotic resistance is not routinely tested, even though antibiotic failure rate is high (ca. 1/3) Nice slide with bacterial composition in the stool of one patient, including 0.14 percent C. difficile. Top one was Akkermansia muciniphila. Needs info on the genes that are involved in conferring resistance. Signs of emerging resistance to Vancomycin and Fidaxomicin (which targets RNA polymerase). |

Gregory Maddon: Cost of overtesting and overdiagnosing of C. difficile antibiotic resistance No FDA-approved test to diagnose C. difficile infection (as opposed to colonization by C. difficile). PCR Cycle threshold as a predictor of C. difficile toxin levels |

Now Volkan Köseoğlu on the extracellular lifestyle of an intracellular pathogen, who was originally (on paper) scheduled in the first session Shigella infections and IcsA Actin based motility, bile salts, biofilm formation in small intestine and colon Q: Does Shigella develop biofilms under flow? Q: Does IcsA have a role in this biofilm formation? Reminds me of the biofilm MRI my colleagues did back at IBMT |
