The area of Clinical Microbiology (CM) works in synchrony with the area of Hospital Infection (HI) in the organization of scientific events. The events are structured as to allow participants:
1- to obtain a critical view of the diagnostic procedures used in clinical microbiology laboratories as well as the new trends and future of microbiological diagnosis;
2- to obtain an updated view of the epidemiology and mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance of the most relevant agents in infections related to health care.

Some of the coordinators of the CM and HI areas created the Brazilian Committee for Antimicrobial Sensitivity Testing (BrCAST), a unique initiative in Brazil that brings together four scientific societies: the Brazilian Clinical Analyses Society, the Brazilian Infectious Diseases Society, Brazilian Microbiology Society and the Brazilian Clinical Pathology Society and Laboratorial Medicine. BrCAST is aligned with the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) and is recognized by this institution as a national committee linked to EUCAST. Some documents translated into Portuguese are available on BrCAST’s website (www.brcast.org.br), which can be implemented in routine clinical microbiology. The main objective is that all of Brazil uses a single standard for antimicrobial susceptibility testing, which is free and widely available in Portuguese.
