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.

Cracking the Code: Antimicrobial Resistance mechanism in Gram-Negative Organisms

Gram-positive organisms remain the leading cause of osteoarticular infections, posing challenges in diagnosis, antibiotic selection, surgical planning, and long-term management. From acute septic arthritis to chronic prosthetic joint infections, timely and structured care is essential to prevent disability and relapse.

In this session, Dr. Sarvesh Bhimavat will cover practical approaches to diagnosing osteoarticular infections, choosing appropriate empiric and targeted antibiotic therapy, and strategies for long-term suppressive therapy. The focus will be on real-world clinical decision-making, multidisciplinary coordination, and optimizing outcomes in complex bone and joint infections.
