Event Insights : Gain more knowledge on 15th International Symposium on Antimicrobial Agents and Resistance - for publication and research. APFID is a non-profit foundation established to address the urgent need for international cooperation to control and prevent infectious diseases, which remain the leading cause of death worldwide. The Foundation focuses on the Asia-Pacific region, where the threat of antimicrobial resistance is most critical, and supports research programs such as the Asian Network for Surveillance of Resistant Pathogens (ANSORP), the Asian Bacterial Bank (ABB), and the Infectious Disease Research Institute (IDRI). APFID also organizes the biennial International Symposium on Antimicrobial Agents and Resistance (ISAAR) to facilitate scientific exchange and collaboration on infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance. In addition to research, APFID has launched the international campaign "STOP, Superbug", which promotes public awareness of the appropriate use of antibiotics and aims to control antimicrobial resistance in the Asia-Pacific region. By collaborating with various institutions, organizations, industries and scientific societies, APFID aims to contribute to the improvement of public health not only in the Asia-Pacific region but globally.
