The ASM is the world's largest scientific society of individuals interested in the microbiological sciences. Founded in 1899, the Society's mission is to advance microbiological sciences through the pursuit of scientific knowledge and dissemination of the results of fundamental and applied research.
The ASM's annual General Meeting Is multi-disciplinary, with more than 3,500 papers presented and over 10,000 scientific attendees. The Interscience Conference of Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy (ICAAC)—ASM's second annual meeting—is the preeminent international conference on infectious diseases.
