First Antimicrobial Stewardship in Tuberculosis Conference
The first Antimicrobial Stewardship in Tuberculosis Conference will take place in Chisinau, Moldova, on June 8–9, 2026.
Please find the program here:
At this conference, organized by TBnet in collaboration with WHO Europe, results from the survey on the status of implementation of AMS standards in TB in region will be presented and we will discuss how to move AMS standards in TB into practice where they are missing.
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the most pressing global health challenges of the 21st century. Tuberculosis (TB) is a major contributor to this burden, with an estimated 390,000 people developing multidrug- or rifampicin-resistant TB (MDR/RR-TB) in 2024.
Reflecting its global importance, the World Health Organization (WHO) has identified rifampicin-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis as a priority pathogen requiring urgent action.
While antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) is central to addressing AMR, TB-specific AMS approaches remain poorly defined. To address this gap, an international Delphi panel
recently developed consensus-based clinical standards for AMS in TB (DOI: 10.5588/ijtldopen.25.0522). In a next step we are surveying the implementation of the standards in
countries of this Region.
This conference brings together experts from across the wide WHO European Region in order to find practical strategies to strengthen AMS in TB.
Due to high interest, registration for on-site participation is no longer available. We would nevertheless be delighted to welcome you online for the conference.
