In February of this year, a large group of clinical microbiologists, employees of laboratory diagnostic companies, and an FDA representative met for a symposium in Houston (it was entitled, “Camp Clin Micro”!). The symposium consisted of a series of facilitated discussions of hot topics in diagnostic microbiology. I enjoyed the give-and-take during these sessions, and thought the interaction between hospital laboratory directors and industry scientists was especially valuable. The written summaries of this symposium are now available free as a supplement to the Journal of Clinical Microbiology, including a summary of the session on the role of clinical microbiology in infection prevention.
