ECCMID is the largest annual clinically focused infectious disease meeting in Europe, attracting a record breaking 12,494 delegates from 126 countries worldwide.

Although ECCMID is a profoundly clinical focused meeting, our CO-ADD team found some great inspiration from talks on biofilm eradication, diagnostic technologies and general updates on the spread of infectious diseases throughout Europe and beyond. This year’s meeting had a heavy focus on the challenges of successfully treating biofilms (both bacterial and fungal), and diagnostics for bacterial, fungal and viral identification.
