Society for microbial ecology, microbial ecology in health and disease, and the future.

Abstract

The Society for Microbial Ecology (SOMED) 36 th  International Conference is now history. As stated by President Andy Onderdonk in the last SOMED newsletter, the meeting was a success. The Organizing Committee, headed by Professor Alojz Bomba, had done a marvellous job. The programme was well balanced with a many good lectures highly relevant for our society. We would, however, have liked to see even more participants and/or SOMED members, something that was discussed at the General Assembly meeting. The discussion resulted in a proposal from one of our councillors, Sandrine Claus, who a few days after the meeting came up with an excellent proposal.
