Welcome to the
International Symposium on Plasmid Biology
Welcome note
Plasmids in bacterial success and adaptation to changing environmental conditions – ONE HEALTH perspective
Dear colleagues,
we warmly welcome you to participate in the International Symposium on Plasmid Biology that will be held from 7 – 11 September 2026 in Berlin. The venue, Berlin Brandenburgische Akademie, will be in the very heart of Berlin close to the Gendarmenmarkt. Besides the traditional core themes of the International Symposium on Plasmid Biology (replication, maintenance and transfer) the focus of the 2026 meeting will be very much on the role of plasmids in disseminating antibiotic resistance genes and their contribution to the connectivity between Human, Animal and Environment. We are eagerly looking forward to seeing your contribution to the main thematic topics.
Yours,
Elisabeth Grohmann & Kornelia Smalla
