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.
A City of Hope event brought together scientists and federal health officials to discuss the role the gut microbiome could play in cancer prevention and treatment.
Microbiologists have a rare opportunity to help shape future European biotechnology regulation. Applied Microbiology International (AMI) is calling on members to contribute as the European Commission seeks expert input on a proposed new Biotech Act.
An intriguing free webinar this July will explore what happens when key members of the human gut microbiome are lost, and what we can learn from populations where this loss has not occurred.
