CORRECTION: TATFAR Meeting is Not a Clam Bake

TATFAR Meeting on Antibiotic Resistance,
Opening Session will be Live Streamed
Antibiotic resistance is complex, but proofreading emails shouldn’t be. Sorry about that typo!
The upcoming TATFAR meeting will include exciting discussions with experts from across the Atlantic—but there will be no steaming (sorry, no lobsters invited). However, there will be live streaming! We hope you will join us virtually on Wednesday, March 7 from 8:30 - 10 AM ET.
Note: The live stream webpage will be available on March 7 at 8:30 AM. Learn more about the meeting and find Live Stream information on TATFAR’s website.

March 7-9, members from the Transatlantic Taskforce on Antimicrobial Resistance (TATFAR) are gathering in Atlanta for a three-day meeting to promote action and discuss ongoing work related to antibiotic resistance. Guided by TATFAR’s three focus areas, the agenda covers:
  • improving antibiotic use in humans and animals,
  • preventing infections and their spread, and
  • strengthening the drug pipeline.
CDC will host the meeting which will be attended by representatives from Canada, the European Union, Norway, and the United States, along with key partners. This work will help frame the plan for the second half of TATFAR’s implementation period (2018-2020).
The meeting’s opening session will be streamed live on Wednesday, March 7 from 8:30 - 10 AM ET (the webpage to the live stream will be available on March 7 at 8:30AM). The opening session includes a welcome from TATFAR Co-Chairs and keynote speakers.
