After an introductory lecture by Prof. Jochen Maas, who explained the current situation and the associated challenges, a variety of new approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of pathogenic bacteria were discussed. Experts from science and industry presented alternatives to conventional antibiotic therapies. For example, approaches based on PNA oligomers, AI-based combination therapies, therapies with small molecules, with antibodies or with bacteriophages. In addition, new diagnostic findings on the function of the immune system and the influence of the metabolome were presented. Further information can be found in the event agenda.

The coffee and lunch breaks were actively used for professional exchange and networking. The participants agreed that the event was inspiring and exciting, but also very balanced. The program ended with a panel discussion chaired by Prof. Horst Domdey, Scientific Director of bayresq.net, on the topic of "Facing AMR Reality: New Thinking, New Acting." All in all, the participants experienced two very exciting and highly inspiring days.
