As the World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week shines a spotlight on one of modern medicine’s greatest challenges, this session dives deep into the evolving mechanisms of resistance among Gram-negative organisms. From ESBL-producing strains to carbapenem-resistant pathogens, these organisms continue to test the limits of available therapies and clinical decision-making.

In this talk, Dr. Sarvesh Bhimavat, an Infectious Disease Specialist, will break down the molecular pathways that drive resistance, discuss emerging trends in detection and management, and share strategies for optimizing antibiotic stewardship. The session aims to empower practitioners to recognize resistance patterns early and respond effectively in the era of escalating AMR.
