    One of the main goals of ISAP is to be a forum for presenting new concepts and new data pertaining to the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of antiinfective agents.  These new concepts and data may, possibly, become part of the basic science of antiinfective chemotherapy.

   Over the years, the symposium, which ISAP helds just after the Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy (ICAAC) has become specifically devoted to this type "New concept/New data" discussion meeting (see "Past meetings and activities").

    This year's meeting was be no exception to this rule and the programme has again focused both on controversial issues, where new data and discussions are needed.

    The focus of the programme was on a real, in depth discussion among all participants based on presentations meant to be informative, and even sometimes provocative, but concentrating always on new concepts and data at the cutting edge of the Science of Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Antiinfectives.

• Unusual sites ... Peter Breughel, the famous Flemish/Dutch painter and engraver, used to represent the true reality in each of his masterpieces.  Reality was often what he could see of people doing, eating, rejoicing, when strolling through villages, participating to feasts, or otherwise living with the populations he undertook to represent.  He also liked to show the man's shorteyeness and stupidity (apart from sometimes violent political attacks against tyranny).  In this little engraving, a master tells a pupil how to grasp honey from bees, but neither him neither the pupil knows how to really get what they want from this dangerous site... and the Master concentrates on his book, away from the reality, while the pupil, disregarding his written instructions, is just risking bad bites...
