American Society for Microbiology to host 110th general meeting in San Diego
Date:3/23/2010

The American Society for Microbiology (ASM) will hold its 110th General Meeting May 23-27, 2010 in San Diego, California. The meeting will feature approximately 3,000 individual scientific presentations spanning the breadth of microbiology and has an expected attendance of 10,000.

Microbiologists study living organisms and infectious agents, and their work is critical to human and animal health, agriculture, the environment and biotechnology. Many accomplishments in the microbiological sciences have significantly affected our lives, such as the development of treatments for infectious diseases, the prevention of food spoilage, the use of microorganisms to clean up pollutants and basic knowledge of the nature of all living things.

  • Among the topics to be presented are:
  • The role of microbes in extinction events
  • The persistence of foodborne pathogens in the food supply from farm to fork
  • Issues in the testing and diagnosis of sexually transmitted diseases in adolescent and pediatric patients.
  • The impact of humans and the changing environment on the spread of infectious disease
  • Microbiology and ecology of wine, beer and cheese
  • H1N1 Influenza Pandemic: What worked, what didn't, and what have we learned

More detailed information, including program, abstracts, and online media registration can be found online at http://tinyurl.com/asm2010. Additional press materials can be found at this site as they become available.

Media events will be livestreamed and archived on the internet via the ASM Newsroom on Ustream at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/2010-asm-general-meeting.

Comprehensive media facilities will be available and meeting registration is complimentary for the media. Media wishing to register should do so through the online newsroom at
