The official hotel of the 2nd ASM-ESCMID Conference on Methicllin-resistant Staphylococci in Animals: Veterinary and Public Health Implications is the Omni Shoreham Hotel.  Located in one of the most influential cities of the world, this grand luxury hotel offers a resort atmosphere and a personal taste of politics, culture, art and music at its best. The four-diamond Omni Shoreham Hotel is nestled on 11 acres in picturesque Rock Creek Park in northwest Washington, DC and is only steps away from the National Zoo.
Bringing scientists investigating zoonotic MRSA together from around the world, the Conference will educate scientists about zoonotic MRSA by sharing cutting-edge research; promote collaborations amongst scientists working in this field; and develop further research ideas which will mitigate the spread of this organism from animals to the human population.  The Conference will integrate recent developments in subject areas ranging from the basic epidemiology of animal-associated MRSA to developments in genomics, pathogenesis, and disease prevention. The goal is to integrate these diverse disciplines in order to create a holistic appreciation of the role of animals—and particularly food animals—in the ecology and transmission of MRSA. This conference is also unique due to its international scope and its involvement of both human and animal health professionals.
