This meeting brought together microbiologists from several prestigious universities and research centers throughout Spain, as well as experts from other countries including the United States, United Kingdom, Portugal, Germany, Mexico and Venezuela. The program included an opening lecture, one invited lecture and a closing lecture, twelve symposia on selected topics, ten sessions of oral presentations, four poster sessions, and three workshops. There were around 230 poster presentations and 55 oral communications. Relevant Spanish and foreign researchers participated at the symposia in order to get a straightforward vision of the new and more successful scientific results. Besides, joint symposia with the Portuguese Society for Microbiology as well as with the Spanish Society for Virology were held. One of the main goals of the meeting was to stimulate the participation of young microbiologists, given them an excellent opportunity to present their more recent results.
