title: Developments in antimicrobial resistance and treatment.
abstract: On World Health Day (7 April 2011), the WHO urged rapid and concerted action to safeguard today's antimicrobial drug treatments against resistance, and published a package of policies for governments and their national partners to combat the growing threat. So the timing could not have been better for leading scientists and researchers to discuss the latest developments in antimicrobial resistance and treatment at this year's International Symposium on Antimicrobial Agents and Resistance, held in a region of the world - Asia-Pacific - that is facing some of the greatest challenges from extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing bacteria.
