NIAA Antimicrobial Forum

August 8, 2012 — 

A One Health Approach to Antimicrobial Use and Resistance – A dialogue for a common purpose is the title of the second forum on the antibiotic issue sponsored by the National Institute for Animal Agriculture (NIAA). It is set for Nov. 13-15, 2012 at the Hilton Polaris Hotel in Columbus, OH.

Special hotel rates are $139/night. When booking, ensure the reservationist knows you are with the National Institute for Animal Agriculture symposium. Book rooms by visiting http://animalagriculture.org/Solutions/Symposia/2012_antibiotics/hotel_travel.html

The common purpose of the NIAA program is to promote improving health through judicious use of antimicrobials and decrease the impacts of antibiotic resistance.

The forum will build upon information and consensus from the previous symposium held last October in Chicago. Thirteen scientists in both the animal and human health arena addressed a wide array of current research and initiatives regarding the use of antibiotics.

The White Paper and other information about the 2011 symposium and about the National Institute for Animal Agriculture can be accessed through NIAA’s Web site at http://www.AnimalAgriculture.org.
