University of California San Diego brings 18 presentations to IDWeek 2026 in Washington. Its program centres on new ways to treat drug-resistant bacteria, from jumbo phages and cefiderocol to nanotherapies and nanovaccines, and on clofazimine for nontuberculous mycobacterial infections. It also reports a randomized trial of a host-directed antiviral for dengue and community outreach that raised RSV vaccine uptake.
