November 7, 2011 Symposium of The Danish Microbiological Society
Copenhagen, Denmark Further information
2011 Symposium of The Danish Microbiological Society. The dynamics in the diverse microflora directly associated with humans, and associated effects on human health, are just beginning to be understood , and the impacts of isolation and space conditions (particularly ionizing radiation) are poorly understood. Just as on Earth, microorganisms will play a key role in sustainably providing environmental life support within the system, including water purification, nutrient regeneration for plant systems, and potential energy and material production. Innovative, small scale biological systems are unique sustainable attributes, and their application in spaceflight offer a model for decentralized systems on Earth. While various conceptual and empirical approaches for incorporating microorganisms into life support systems for space have been evaluated (and will be reviewed) , the long term stability of integrated systems have not been established. The direct dependence of human health on the complex microbiome within the closed systems challenges our ability to construct and maintain microbial communities. Advanced monitoring tools may be useful, but conceptual frameworks of microbial communities as complex adaptive systems are even more important for effective management.

November 12 - 16, 2011 1st National Clinical Microbiology Congress
Antalya, Turkey Further information
Organized by the Turkish Clinical Microbiology Specialty Society with cooperation with the Turkish Microbiology Society. Focus on the highlighting issues related to both the management and routine laboratory practices and on the training in the Medical (Clinical) Microbiology Specialty. We will also discuss the developments related to microbiology. Another major topic of the congress will be the antimicrobial resistance problem and its potential consequences experienced both by the clinical microbiology specialists and the clinicians.
