Welcome Message
On behalf of the ESCMID Study Group on Biofilms (ESGB) and the Organising Committee, it is our great pleasure
to welcome you to the EUROBIOFILMS 2015 meeting in Brno. This meeting follows the tradition started with the
EUROBIOFILMS meetings organised in 2009 (Rome, Italy) and 2011 (Copenhagen, Denmark) and 2013 (Ghent,
Belgium).
It is clear from the number of submitted abstracts and registered participants that microbial biofilms continue to be
a hot topic among microbiologists. This conference provides a platform for all scientists studying basic, clinical and
environmental aspects of microbial biofilms to present novel data and to exchange new information on bacterial
and fungal biofilms. The multidisciplinary program covers many topics, and is balanced between basic and clinical aspects of microbial biofilms. Despite the busy program, we hope that you will find some time to catch up with
old friends and/or make some new friends and also to visit Brno, the city, where Johan Gregor Mendel took up
his genetic research. Let the city of Johan Gregor Mendel inspire you and your research and enjoy your stay on
EUROBIOFILMS 2015 in Brno!
Finally, we would like to thank the Czechoslovak Society for Microbiology (CSSM) and the Faculty of Medicine of
Masaryk University for their support and help with the congress organisation. In addition, support from ESCMID
has allowed us to provide attendance grants to 10 participants. Without these partners the organisation of this
meeting would not have been possible.

Audio-visual equipment
All posters should be mounted on Wednesday, 24
June 2015 by 09:00 and will remain mounted for the
duration of the Congress.
The auditoria at the Congress Venue will be equipped
with PCs with Power Point software and data projectors.
All presentations need to be prepared with Microsoft
PowerPoint. All recent versions of Microsoft PowerPoint
are accepted.
Please bring your presentation on a USB stick (make
sure to have a backup somewhere!). All presenters are
strongly recommended to use the PCs provided by the
organisation and should upload their presentation in the
break before their session the latest, and preferably earlier. If you are bringing your own laptop, please check
that you are able to hook up your laptop to the video
projector at least in the break before your session. We
recommend you to bring your own electrical adapter as
well. There will be no Preview Room available.
Posters sessions will take place in two groups. Poster
Sessions PS01 – PS04 will be presented by the presenting author during the first Poster Session (Wednesday, 24 June 2015, from 13.00 to 15.00).
Poster Sessions PS05 – PS11 will be presented by the
presenting author during the second poster session
(Thursday, 25 June 2015, from 13.00 to 15.00).
You have been assigned a poster board number, date
and time. You are expected to be at your assigned space
on the day that your poster presentation is scheduled.
Presentation
Material to mount your poster will be provided.
Speakers are requested to present themselves to the
chair in the lecture room 10 minutes prior to the beginning of their session
 Please respect the time limits. Each presentation is
scheduled to last for 15 minutes, which means
approx. 10 minutes for the actual presentation
leaving 5 minutes for questions. The moderator is
responsible for the time table and will interrupt if a presentation extends beyond the allocated time.
All posters must be removed no later than the last break
on Friday, 26 June 2015. Remaining posters will be removed by the organisers, who cannot be held responsible for any damages.

General Information
Congress Venue
Address:
Masaryk University Campus Conference Centre
Kamenice 5
Brno
Czech Republic
Masaryk University, the second oldest University in former Czechoslovak Republic, was established in January 1919, shortly after the creation of an independent
Czechoslovak state. Masaryk University was established with four faculties –
faculty of law, medicine, natural sciences and arts. From
the beginning it took the
name of the man who had done more than anyone else to bring it into existence: Tomáš Garrigue
Masaryk. The mission of the new university, as set out in the founding document of 1919, was
for it to “live, grow strong and flourish in noble competition with its older sister in Prague”. From
the very beginning, the university played an important role in the scientific, scholarly, cultural
and social life of the country. Its first honorary doctorate was awarded in 1925 to the composer
Leoš Janáček, a man with very close ties to Masaryk University. At the end of the 1930s, like
all other Czech universities, Masaryk University was closed down on 17 November 1939 by
the Nazi occupiers. According to an internal order issued by Protectorate command, the Brno
university was to be treated as though it had never existed. During the six wartime years, the
-10-
university suffered incalculable losses. Worse than any material damage,
however, was the loss of professors and other university employees as a
direct result of Nazi persecution. The number of Masaryk University professors who were executed or tortured is exceptionally high; for instance, as
a consequence of Nazi terror, the Faculty of Science lost an entire quarter
of its teaching staff. The successful post-war renewal of university life was
brought to a halt by the Communist coup of 1948. The ensuing purges were
particularly difficult for the student population: the number of students expelled ranged from 5 % at the Faculty of Education to 46 % at the Faculty of
Law. The purge among employees was less drastic. In 1953 the Faculty of
Education (founded in 1946) was separated from the university and in 1960
Masaryk University reached the low point of its existence, being reduced
to only three faculties following the closure of the Pharmaceutical Faculty, the only institution of its kind in all of Bohemia
and Moravia. At the same time, the university lost its original name and was renamed to the Jan Evangelista Purkyně
University in Brno. It was only after the Velvet Revolution that the university awakened from a long period of stagnation. It
was renamed to Masaryk University in 1990. Now, the Masaryk University possesses eight faculties, in 2006 the Johann
Gregor Mendel Antarctic Station was established, in 2007 Mendeleum, the Mendel Museum, became a component part
of MU and in 2010 the University Campus Bohunice was opened.
Wireless internet connection will be available at the conference venue.

Transportation in Brno
Public Transporation
Using public transport in Brno is easy and convenient. Majority of trams, trolleybuses and buses are in service approx. 4:00-23:00 h, but some have shorter service. The interval between individual trams/buses on the same line
is 3–10 min in the peak time, 15–30 min in the evening.
During the night (23:00-4:00 h), special night buses circulate through the city (for more information, see www.dpmb.
cz or www.idsjmk.cz)
Fare: the traffic system designed for the whole South-Moravian region is based on the zones, but inside the city it
is not necessary to take care about them. Only time validity of your ticket is significant. Tickets should be bought in
advance in vending machines situated at many stops, in newsagents, at Brno Tourist Information Centre, at Brno
Public Transport Company information centres, in some hotels and via sms - Sejf application (app can be downloaded at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cz.edhouse.mc.android). Price of a ticket for 15 minutes is
20 CZK, for 60 minutes 25 CZK, for 90 minutes 27 CZK. It is also possible to buy one day ticket for 90 CZK or five
days ticket for 250 CZK. Some types of tickets are also sold by the driver, but they are something more expensive
and buyers are supposed to have exact sum to pay. If unable to show a valid ticket, you can be charged a fine of
up to CZK 1500 (ca. EUR 60)! The ticket can be used for all means of transport: trams, buses, and trolleybuses.
When entering the vehicle the ticket must be marked in the punching box.
About how to get to/from your hotels, Congress venue, Mendel Museum and Petrov Cathedral see detailed information online at http://eurobiofilms2015.ics.dk/.
