Welcome to the 2nd Virtual Conference on Staphylococci and Staphylococcal Infections—Staphylococci Meet 2026!
Building on the success of our first event, this virtual gathering will be held on February 23–24, 2026, organized by Impact Research Communications. The conference will spotlight the latest interdisciplinary research on Staphylococcus aureus and related infections, a major global health concern due to rising antibiotic resistance, including MRSA.
This event offers a dynamic platform for researchers, clinicians, industry professionals, and young scientists to exchange ideas, share discoveries, and foster collaborations in understanding and combating staphylococcal diseases.
Join us online for two days of engaging talks, interactive discussions, and global networking opportunities. We look forward to welcoming you to an inspiring and collaborative experience.
