Abstracts should only be submitted as late-breaking abstracts if they meet the FOLLOWING CRITERIA:

• The research is limited to highly significant and timely findings in diagnostic microbiology or epidemiology that were not available during the initial submission process.

• Only abstracts that are deemed to be of high scientific priority and which merit presentation in the poster sessions will be accepted.

• Late-breaking abstracts cannot be a revision of an abstract submitted during the initial submission process

• Late-breaking abstracts must not have been submitted, presented, accepted for presentation or published in any other scientific venue.

• Standards for accepting late-breaking abstracts for presentation are much higher than those required for abstracts accepted for the general scientific sessions.
