Issues such as the role of infections in the development of the immune response, viral infections and airway diseases, tuberculosis control, bacterial antibiotic resistance, infectious complications of immune suppression and many others have generated huge interest in infection. This is the youngest ERS Assembly, as in 1997 the group separated from the Clinical Assembly and became independent. Members of the Respiratory Infection Group collaborate successfully with many other Scientific Groups of the ERS as infection is represented in other Assemblies. The Tuberculosis Group is the historical core of lung medicine and attracts many scientists and clinicians from Eastern European countries. This new structure appears to be extremely successful and this new Assembly is already mature.
