Yes / On 14/15th March 2016 we held a MRC/DBT funded workshop on the theme of
Materials to Combat Antibiotic Resistance. The workshop was part of a continuing
series of events that are part of the work of UK-India Centre for Advanced
Technologies-Minimising the indiscriminate use of Antibiotics (UKICAT–MA). The
following is the collection of presentations and the results of discussions highlighting
key themes for future work by this group.
Combating antibiotic resistance is perhaps the biggest issue facing the global
community in the 21st century and no other area, with the exception perhaps of
nuclear conflict, has the capacity to significantly reduce living standards and mortality
rates. Key objectives identified by WHO1 in this area among five key aspects,
include:
Objective 4-to optimize the use of antimicrobial agents
Objective 5-new medicines, diagnostic tools, vaccines and other interventions
Our aims in this series of workshops are to provide an Indo-UK forum for:
discussions of our advances in providing technologies to address these objectives;
facilitate the interface between UK and Indian clinicians, materials and biological
scientists and to identify key areas for new projects. An important aspect of the work
in a global context is that by combining the UK and Indian community and clinical
experiences we cover most of the scenarios that the global population might expect to
encounter
