On February 26, 2026, the Radisson Slavyanskaya Business Center became a major hub for experts in medical microbiology as the Congress commenced its main scientific program. More than 2,000 participants have already registered for this flagship event in the field, with registration remaining open and attendance continuing to grow.

Professor Priputnevich serves as Chief National Consultant in Medical Microbiology at the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and Professor of Medical Microbiology.
“For us, the Congress has become not only an annual professional meeting, but a major scientific and intellectual forum that brings together specialists committed to advancing the emerging field of medical microbiology,” she stated.
The Congress opened with a landmark event for the discipline: a joint open session of the Specialized Expert Commissions of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation on Medical Microbiology, Clinical Microbiology, and Antimicrobial Resistance.
