Global-PPS at ECCMID 2022


Global-PPS at ECCMID 2022

At the 32st edition of the European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ECCMID), the Global-PPS team from the University of Antwerp and participants from Georgia, Montenegro, and the Philippines present their latest Global-PPS results. This year, ECCMID will take place for the first time as a hybrid event both online and on-site in Lisbon, Portugal on 23 – 26 April 2022.

Five Global-PPS abstracts have been accepted for presentation in a poster session. Due to the hybrid nature this year, poster sessions will occur simultaneously online and on-site. The Georgian team will explore the use of antibiotics in hospitalized COVID-19 patients in Georgia. The participants from Montenegro will present their results on antimicrobial prescribing in 10 Montenegrin hospitals in 2021. The 3rd poster assesses the use of forgotten antibiotics worldwide. Last but not least, the participants from the Philippines will present two posters, one focussing on antimicrobial prescriptions for COVID-19 patients in 2021 in the Philippines. The other poster assesses antibiotic prescribing for surgical prophylaxis in 15 Philippines hospitals during a 4-year period, using repeated Point Prevalence Surveys.
