Chairman’s Message
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
It is my great pleasure to see you in the 6th WORLD CONGRESS ON Infectious Diseases and Antibiotics
2025 to be held on 05th October 2025 at J.N.Tata Auditorium, Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore.
Infections, whether bacterial, viral, protozoal or fungal, have always been a source of patient
suffering and a burden on society from health, financial and psychosocial perspectives. Antibiotics
are fighting bacteria and rescuing lives since the 1940s. However, some bacterial strains have now
become resistant to antibiotics, and they have gained strength and swapped tide for their benefit.
Resistance to antibiotics and the growth of resistant strains brought into question modern medicine.
Current research is trying to find solutions for the infectious diseases by defining preventive
measures, developing diagnostics, and more effective therapy for existing infections. There are also
some new challenges in the field of infectious diseases like population migration, they have a
significant impact on the spread of infectious diseases. I'm glad to encourage different medical
experts related to infectious diseases to come up, ask questions, discuss and make new
collaborations. The participants, besides updating and discussing new trends in the management of
infectious diseases, have a unique opportunity to create international research networks.
Thanks and Regards,
Lt Gen Dr. D. Raghunath
