UK Consultation - Guidelines on M. tuberculosis infection
The Society for Applied Microbiology responded to the UK Department of Health's proposed laboratory guidelines for the diagnosis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in September 2006.
Our response focused on potential capacity issues for small clinical microbiology laboratories and the adoption of molecular fingerprinting of new isolates of M. tuberculosis as an important facet of molecular epidemiology. You can download a copy of our response below.
Applied Microbiology International (AMI) has issued a call for a new member to join our team as an Elected Trustee on the AMI Board from September 2026.
Part of the Sustainable Microbiology Policy Spotlight series, this webinar, recorded on 1 April 2026, explores how microbiologists can most effectively influence policy, with insights that apply to the international policymaking context.
