How to Build a Breakpoint - Relative Importance of the ECOV and PK/PD Target Attainment
The session will identify the microbiologic and pharmacologic process for setting antimicrobial susceptibility breakpoints. It will also describe pitfalls and controversies in the process.This session features presentations from:

New Agents Discovery Summary Session: Early New Antimicrobial Agents
This session will highlight the discovery of new antimicrobial agents, including their characterization and new technologies that facilitate their discovery and characterization, or give further insight into the activity of established molecules. Presenters will discuss β-lactamase inhibitors, LepB inhibitors and a polymyxin analog.This session features presentations from:

One Health Solutions for Tackling Antimicrobial Resistance
This cross-disciplinary session will gather world leaders to discuss strategies to tackle AMR due to causes other than the use of antibiotics in humans. It will cover antibiotics in water supplies; the rise of AMR in our food supplies due to use of antibiotics in meat farming and aquaculture; antibiotic use and AMR in domestic pets; and global strategies being implemented to overcome these threats.This session features presentations from:

NCBI, Antibiotic Resistance and a Million Genomes
With the abundance of whole bacterial genomes available, data analysis is becoming a major challenge. In this session, NCBI scientists who are analyzing many thousands of bacterial genomes for resistance genes will lead a panel discussion. They will discuss nomenclature of antibiotic resistance genes, point mutations, annotations, interfaces to access the information, both reference sets and full sets of genomes and a future that must deal with such large volumes of data.This session features presentations from:
