ABOUT THE STREP-2025

After the prodigious success of 1st Edition, USG, United Scientific Group (a non-profit organization) proudly announce its Second International Virtual Conference on Streptococci & Streptococcal Infections (STREP-2025) which will be held on March 25-26, 2025.

STREP-2025 is a premier event that brings together senior investigators, clinicians, and industry professionals from all around the world to discuss the latest advancements, research findings, and best practices in the field of streptococci & streptococcal infections. This 2-day virtual conference will feature high-quality presentations by renowned international experts and provide a collaborative platform for advancing the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of streptococcal infections.

Streptococcus is a genus of bacteria known for their round or oval shape and their ability to form chains or pairs. Some species of Streptococcus like Streptococcus pyogenes, Streptococcus agalactiae, Streptococcus pneumoniae can cause various infections in humans, including strep throat, skin infections, pneumonia, meningitis, and more. The challenge in treating streptococcal infection is linked to the development of multidrug-resistant strains and the mechanisms employed by these pathogens to evade the human immune defense. Our speakers will cover all the topics related to this field.

STREP-2025 will offer a unique opportunity for attendees to gain insights of the latest perspectives, updates, innovative technological tools, and scientific advances in streptococcal infections research.

We hope that you will enjoy this conference and benefit from networking with attendees and speakers.
