Latest Updates
Clinical Case Studies
Clinical Case Studies have now been added to the program. Abstracts are invited for short presentations from the clinical environment e.g. those involving interesting or infrequent isolates or cases with unusual clinical presentations. This is a great opportunity for ASM members working in diagnostic laboratories to present topics that are of interest to colleagues and to raise awareness regarding some of the less frequently encountered organisms or cases. Clinical case study presentations will be 8 minutes with 2 minutes of questions.
