hosts ANAEROBE 2022, July 28-31, 2022
at the new Hyatt Regency in Seattle, WA USA.
Program
ANAEROBE
2022 will address both the clinical and microbiological aspects of anaerobes,
as related to human diseases, animal diseases, and environmental conditions.
Mixing theory and practical applications, the Congress will consist of
invited speakers, oral presentations, and poster presentations,
representing work by researchers from over 30 countries.
The Congress will consist of:
- 2 Pre-Congress Workshops -- July 28
- 18 Oral Sessions with over 60 presentations -- July 29-31
- Two Poster Presentation Sessions
- Young Investigator's Presentation Competition
- Industry Exhibitions

Target Audience
Researchers, clinicians, laboratory technologists, and students from around the world
are invited to attend and participate in this Congress to engage in
presentations, exchanges, and dialogue on issues related to the study of anaerobes.
Congress
Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants will be
able to:
- Demonstrate knowledge of the latest
developments in the field of anaerobic research.
- Apply new recommendations in the diagnosis,
screening, treatment, and prevention of clostridial,
obstetric and gynecological, periodontal, intestinal, and other anaerobic
infections.
- Incorporate better utilization of the
microbiology laboratory into the delivery of patient care.
Pre-Congress
Workshops -- July 28, 2022
We are offering two full day Pre-Congress Workshops (7.0 CEUs) on Thursday, July 28. Each workshop is accreditated for Laboratory Scientist/Technologists (7.0 CEUs) contact hours upon completion of the program by Microbiology Educational Services Early registration for each is $150.
Workshop 1: Anaerobic Identification and Susceptibility Testing Workshop.
Instructors: Diane M. Citron; Mike Cox
Techniques for identifying anaerobes based on phenotypic characteristics
will be presented. These methods will include appearance
on gram-stain, growth on selective media, susceptibility
to special potency antibiotic disks, preformed enzyme reactions,
and classical biochemical reactions. Use of MALDI-TOF
for identification of anaerobes will be discussed. The Anaerobe
Educator software program will be used to present test reactions
and to allow for active audience participation in the identification
of organisms. Susceptibility testing methods, including
agar dilution, broth microdilution, and Etest will be discussed.
Participants will identify 15 unknown organisms using techniques
presented in the workshop.
Workshop 2: Examining Anaerobes in the Microbiome: Metagenomic and Culture Approaches. Instructors: Laura M. Cox, Ph,D.; Casey Theriot, Ph.D.; Anna Seekatz, Ph.D.
The microbiota, composed of trillions of bacteria, fungi, and
viruses, colonize all living animals and can influence health and
disease. Advances in multi-omics technology have increased
our ability to interrogate these important interactions. This
course will provide didactical instruction and foundational
knowledge on microbiome study design, manipulation via
microbiota transplants and antibiotic therapy, sequencing and
analysis, and metabolomics. It will also cover approaches for
cultivating, isolating, and identifying diverse bacteria within
the microbiome. The course will include clinically relevant
examples, and aims to increase a student's fluency with microbiome
terminology and their familiarity with publicly available
resources. This course is appropriate for students, postdocs,
faculty, and clinical researchers interested in microbiome
research.

The Setting
Seattle is called the Emerald City for its unrivaled natural
beauty-surrounded by greenery all year round and overlooking
the waters of Puget Sound. You can view the entire region
from atop the Space Needle and visit the various attractions
from Pike Place Market to the Chihuly Garden and Glass, the
Museum of Flight, and the Seattle Art Museum. There also
is a variety of culinary options for the foodies, as well as a
lively music scene for the hipsters. For those who are willing
to venture farther, day trips can be taken to Bainbridge Island,
Mount Rainier National Park, or even Vancouver, Canada. And
shopping. . .there are plenty of options to shop, within steps of
the hotel.

Social & Networking Activities
A major benefit of ANAEROBE 2022 is the opportunity to network with anaerobic researchers from around the world. The Anaerobe Congresses have an outstanding track record in facilitating collaborative research projects that have produced results presented at later Anaerobe Congresses and other scientific conferences and publications. Opportunities include:
Thursday, July 28 -- Pre-Congress Welcoming No-Host Mixer. To kickoff the Congress, network with Congress attendees on Thursday evening, 6-7pm, for a No-Host mixer in Regency lobby on 7th Floor.
Friday, July 29 -- Congress Reception. The opening day of sessions
concludes with a Wine & Cheese Reception for delegates to socialize and network.
Saturday, July 30 --
Congress Banquet. This year's Congress Banquet will take place at the Olympic Sculpture Park Pavilion, where we can watch the sun set over the waters of Puget Sound. This evening will include a reception and a plated 3-course dinner. Order entrees on the registration form. Over dessert, Congress awards will be presented, including The Finegold Award for Best
Abstract, the Young Investigator's Awards, and the Lifetime Achievement
Award. We will also celebrate the careers of members who have passed since we last met,
including our Founding President, Dr. Sydney Finegold, and Dr. John Barlett.
Banquet tickets must be purchased in advanced;
Tickets will not be sold on-site!!
