• The abstract submitter must be the first/presenting author. Please contact asmmicrobemtgprogram@asmusa.org to change the first/presenting author. The presenting author must have an account with ASM before they can be added to that position: ASM Single Sign on. 
• ASM Membership is not required to submit an abstract.
• Presenting Authors are limited to 3 unique abstracts across all submission types. 
• An abstract may only be submitted once. Overlapping abstracts submitted by multiple presenters or to multiple Tracks will be rejected. 
• Approval of all co-authors must be obtained before placing their names on an abstract. 
• A presenter may be a presenter on up to 3 abstracts. If all 3 abstracts are accepted, the presenter is limited to one presentation per day.
• The presenting author must be registered by April 1 or the abstract will be withdrawn. Registration waivers are not available. The presenting author must register for the event using the same email address used for the abstract submission.
• Presenter agrees to be available to present in Los Angeles, Calif. on June 19-23, 2025. Remote presentations are not available.
• The Presenting Author is responsible for all expenses related to the presentation of their abstract(s) if accepted to the program.  ASM does not provide funding, registration waivers or other support.
• International submitters are responsible for all funding and documentation to attend the meeting. They are encouraged to apply for their visas as soon as possible.
• Abstracts must be well written and easy to understand, with results clearly presented. 
• Abstracts must be written in English. 
• Submission deadlines are firm. Late abstracts will not be accepted.
• Rejected abstracts may not be edited or resubmitted.
• Programming decisions are considered final. Once sessioned, an abstract will not be moved to another day.
• ASM Microbe 2025 must be the first major presentation of the abstract. Encore abstracts presented at previous meetings will not be accepted.  

• The reason for the study, or how the study came about (e.g. hypothesis, discovery or central question), should be clearly stated.
• Methods must be included.
• Data must be objectively gathered, analyzed and reported.
• Data must support the stated conclusion(s).
• All presentations dealing with the isolation, purification, structure-activity relationships, mechanisms of action, in vivo/in vitro microbiology, PK/PD in animals and Pre-U.S. IND or non-U.S. early phase I studies must include meaningful data (e.g., producing organism, purification steps, physical-chemical characterization, structures, MICs, ED50s to describe new compounds and their properties and that chemical structures of lead compounds will be included as part of the poster presentation).

Note: Any posters or talks dealing with a specific small molecule antimicrobial agent must provide a chemical structure, or a literature reference to the structure, in order to be presented at the meeting. Abstracts describing biological data on an antimicrobial agent whose chemical structure has not been defined should be submitted to the HMB track.

Scientific presentations at ASM Microbe 2025 are expected to transparently report a study’s scientific rigor, including, but not limited to, the following: 1) experimental design; 2) methodology; 3) data collection; 4) analysis and 5) interpretation and report of results. Other key components of scientific rigor, if applicable, include, sample size, randomization, blinding and replication.

• The reason for the study or how the study came about, (e.g. hypothesis, discovery or central question) should be clearly stated.
• The objective and experimental design should be briefly detailed. 
• Data must be objectively gathered, analyzed and reported. 
• Data must support the stated conclusion(s). 
• Conclusion(s) or inferences should be made, but the study does not need to be fully complete. Preliminary results and conclusions are acceptable (the standard to present at ASM Microbe is not the same as to publish in a Journal.) 
• Abstracts describing biological data on an antimicrobial agent whose chemical structure has not been defined should be submitted to the HMB Track. 
• Scientific presentations at ASM Microbe 2025 will be expected to transparently report a study’s scientific rigor to ensure that the study is well-controlled and reproducible. Elements of scientific rigor should include but are not limited to the following: experimental design, data collection and analysis and interpretation and inferences of the results.
