A Few Words About the Conference

Welcome back to our 2nd edition of International Virtual Conference on Staphylococcal Infections (STAPH-2023) scheduled on February 27-28, 2023. The first inaugural conference was held on May 10th 2022. With a prodigious success of STAPH-2022, USG, United Scientific Group (a non-profit organization) proudly host the 2nd edition of this conference for the Staph researchers.

This edition will be a 2-day content-rich program will cover all the latest research findings in basic/cell biology, pathology, immunology, epidemiology, ecology of S. aureus, and treatment of staphylococcal infections to control this wide-spread infection around the world.

Staphylococcus aureus is a resourceful human pathogen, which is a leading cause of infections worldwide. The challenge in treating S. aureus infection is linked to the development of multidrug-resistant strains and the mechanisms employed by this pathogen to evade the human immune defenses. Our speakers will report on a broad range of technologies; more fundamentally, they will share their creative and novel perspectives on developing new therapies to control these widespread infections.

STAPH-2023 will offer a unique opportunity for attendees to gain insights of the latest perspectives, updates, cutting-edge technological tools, and scientific advances in staphylococcal infections research. We hope that you will enjoy this conference and benefit from networking with attendees and speakers.
