Anti-Infective Drugs

2021

Regional Anti-Infectives TDM meeting – Singapore, November 2021 (to replace the event scheduled for November 4, 2020 and then canceled for the Covid-19 pandemic).

Asia-Pacific Conference on Clinical Microbiology and Infections, a well-respected conference attracting over 1000 delegates. It is anticipated that approximately 80 participants will attend. The ability to use speakers already invited to the APCCMI (Debbie Marriott, Jason Roberts) will reduce costs to IATDMCT. The Singapore Infectious Diseases Society has generously offered to provide their conference organizing facilities for our regional meeting.

Future regional meeting in India is being explored.

Affiliation with other societies is being actively examined.

New social media team (Indy Sandaradura, Danijela Kocic) will liaise with the Chair of the Communications Committee to increase content from the Anti-Infectives group. – No contact for the moment.

Contributions and organization to IATDMCT 2021 ROME Congress.

Consensus Guidelines for the TDM of Vancomycin currently in progress.

2013

The HIV drugs committee proposed to have a joint Anti-Infective Drugs committee to preserve active members and broaden our interaction between colleagues. The proposal to join form a new larger Anti-Infective Drug committee (2013) was accepted with great enthusiasm. The previous experience of both committees will be beneficial, in particular the interplay with the multidisciplinary fields of Infectious Diseases.

2011

Over the past few years, the field of TDM in infectious diseases has evolved. Based on this the scope of the Antifungal Drugs committee was expanded to Anti-Infective Drugs committee in 2011 (without antiretroviral drugs). Anti-Infective Drugs TDM is a challenging issue. The availability of LC (MS-MS) methods offers the potential to move from microbiological assays to physical-chemical procedures for the determination of these drugs in biological samples. It also provides multi-drug determination per run in a turnaround time that meets clinical relevance.

• Members of the Anti-Infectives committee have over 100 publications in refereed journals in the last year.
• Presentations at over 30 national and international conferences.
• 12 regular reviewers for peer-reviewed journals.
