18 – 21 August 2024 in Perth, Australia.
held at the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre located in the heart of the city.
From the 18th to the 21st of August, CIIDIR members Prof. Catherine Bennett, Dr. Carly Botheras and Dr. Eric Lau, attended the 19th International Symposium on Staphylococci and Staphylococcal Infections. Held at the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre located in the heart of the city, where they heard all the exciting new research on infection control, potentially new treatments, mechanisms of disease including skin infections, bacteraemia and cystic fibrosis. Catherine Bennett chaired a session on cystic fibrosis and Carly Botheras presented a poster on coagulase negative Staphylococcus aureus. Overlooking Elizabeth Quay, they networked with national and international colleagues at Fraser’s Kings Park and even had a chance to have some adventures in the downtime.
If anyone is interested, the next ISSSI will be held in 2026 in the gorgeous Banff, Canada and is highly recommended for anyone involved in any research relating to Staphylococcus.
