This webinar, "Innovations in Microbiology: Tackling MDR Challenges with Point-of-Care Testing and Optimizing Clinical Outcomes," brings together experts to explore groundbreaking approaches in microbiology, with a focus on combating multidrug resistance (MDR) and advancing point-of-care testing. As MDR pathogens continue to challenge traditional treatment protocols, new strategies, and technologies are vital to support rapid diagnosis and effective infection management. Each session will delve into recent advancements in microbial detection, resistance analysis, and the critical role of diagnostic tools at the point of care to improve patient outcomes. Attendees will gain insights into the latest research on antimicrobial resistance patterns, as well as practical guidance on implementing point-of-care testing in clinical and field settings. This webinar provides a comprehensive view of the interconnected challenges of MDR and microbiology, showcasing innovative diagnostic solutions that enable timely interventions and improve patient outcomes across diverse healthcare environments.

This webinar comprises of three following presentations of 20 min each followed by 20 min of panel discussion at the end.

Chair: Dr. Rana Khanafsa

Talk 1- "Guidelines for the prevention and control of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae in health care facilities" - Mrs. Etaf Sliman Hadyeh

Talk 2- "Detection of multi drug resistant Enterobacterales from clinical samples focus on carbapenem resistant Enterobacterales (Palestinian medical complex experience)" - Dr. Mamoun AT Ibaideya
