Abstract
Join us for a thought-provoking webinar titled, "Breaking Barriers in STI Clinical Management: Addressing Resistance Challenges and Incorporating New Diagnostic Approaches," featuring two distinguished speakers at the forefront of research and clinical practice of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). With a combined experience of over 60 years, Dr. Van Der Pol and Dr. William Geisler will share their insights on crucial aspects of STI clinical management, focusing on addressing resistance challenges and incorporating new diagnostic approaches.
This webinar aims to equip healthcare professionals with the knowledge to recognize key clinical manifestations of common curable STIs. The speakers will delve into the prevalence of antibiotic resistance mutations in Mycoplasma genitalium and Neisseria gonorrhoeae across diverse populations, shedding light on the implications of tailored treatment strategies.
Participants will gain familiarity with a range of options for STI molecular tests, including those supporting Resistance Guided Therapy. The speakers' expertise will provide valuable perspectives on the latest diagnostic technologies available for effective STI management. Join us in an engaging session that promises to enhance your understanding of the evolving landscape of STI clinical management.
