Track Categories
The track category is the heading under which your abstract will be reviewed and later published in the conference printed matters if accepted. During the submission process, you will be asked to select one track category for your abstract.
Microbiology is the study of microorganisms such as bacteria, algae, fungi, viruses and etc. Microorganisms are unicellular, acellular and multicellular in nature. The field of microbiology includes several sub-disciplines such as bacteriology, virology, mycology, parasitology, protozoology, nematology etc.
Applied Microbiology is the field of microbiology that deals with the usage of the microbes for the upliftment and well-being of human beings and other living organisms. Environmental Microbiology deals with the study of microorganisms that exists in our environment including air, water, soil etc.
Cellular microbiology interlinks the fields of cell biology and microbiology. It deals with the study of cellular structures of microorganisms. Evolutionary Microbiology is a branch of microbiology that deals with the study of evolution of microbes. Generation microbiology deals with the study of microorganisms that share the same characters as their parents, so that it could help us find the height of virulence of the microbes and the disease caused by it.
Pathogenesis is the biological process that would lead to the diseases state. Immunity is the balanced state of having adequate biological defences to fight against infection, disease, or other unwanted biological invasion, while having adequate tolerance to avoid allergy, and autoimmune diseases. Immunity involves both specific and nonspecific components. The nonspecific components act either as barriers or as eliminators of wide range of pathogens irrespective of antigenic specificity. Other elements of the immune system adapt themselves to each new disease encountered and can generate pathogen-specific immunity.
Microorganisms cause various diseases that can be either acute or chronic diseases. They include diseases like HIV, Ebola, Tuberculosis, Common Cold, Measles, Zika, Malaria, Flu, Hepatitis, Strep Throat etc. These infections may be Communicable or Non-Communicable and their way of spreading may differ accordingly.
Infection is the invasion of an host's body tissues by disease-causing pathogens and the response of host tissues to infectious pathogens and toxins they generate. They should be diagnosed and treated at the early stage to avoid any further complications. The development of new techniques in the diagnosis and treatment should decrease the time consumption to find the infection caused by a particular microbe.
Microbes would affect almost all parts of our body including heart, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, urinary tract, nervous system, skin, brain, gut, nails, limbs etc.
Hospital-acquired infection is an infection that is acquired from the environment or staff of a healthcare facility. This infection can spread in the hospital environment, nursing home environment, rehabilitation facility, clinic, or other clinical settings. Health care staff can spread infection, in addition to contaminated apparatus, bed linens, or air droplets. Controlling Hospital-acquired infection is to implement Quality control measures to the health care sectors, and evidence-based management can be a probable approach.
Antimicrobial resistance refers to microbe’s ability to change and become less susceptible to drugs. The development of antimicrobial drugs like antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals and antiparasitics to treat hazardous infections has been one of the most important medical achievements in human history. Antimicrobial stewardship refers to interrelated interventions implemented to refine and estimate the appropriate use of antimicrobials to decrease the spread of infections by promoting the selection of the optimal antimicrobial drug regimen, dosage, duration of treatment and route of administration.
Vaccination is the administration of the antigenic material to stimulate an individual’s immunity against a pathogen. Vaccination is the most effective way to develop immunity against the infectious and dangerous diseases among a huge set of population. The vaccinations are provided in a particular schedule right from the time of birth.
Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary area which develops techniques and software tools to understand biological data that helps to solve the biological problems. It combines biology, computer science, mathematics and statistics to examine and interpret biological data. It includes DNA sequencing, Genome Annotation, Analysis of gene expression, mutations in cancer, image and signal processing.
Molecular microbiology is the study of the molecular principles of the physiological processes in microorganisms. Genomics is an interdisciplinary area of science which focuses on the structure, function, evolution, mapping, and editing of genomes. A genome is an organism's complete set of DNA, which includes all of its genes or genetic material present in an organism.
Microbial Biofilm is the formation of group of microorganisms that may belong to the same species or of different species. Usually they will be found as a dental plaque and in the vaginal and urinary tract. It is difficult to eradicate them. They can be used in various industries for the various purposes.
Microscopy is the field of science which uses a microscope as a scientific instrument to view objects that cannot be viewed by naked eye. Being the main tool for a microbiologist the microscopes can be classified into many types depending on the need and the type of specimen to be studied.
New infections still present a threat to humanity. Novel pathogens often infect humans, but it is not yet well understood why only some pathogens acquire the ability to spread efficiently to other humans. An emerging infectious disease is an infectious caused by the microorganisms and could increase in the near future. Public health emergencies caused by infectious threats have the potential to kill thousands or millions of people. These dangerous threats can emerge naturally as outbreaks such as influenza, Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), extremely-drug resistant (XDR) tuberculosis.
