33rd Brazilian Congress of Microbiology and FoodMicro® Latino 2025

The Brazilian Congress of Microbiology (CBM) is one of the most important national scientific events and is held every two years. With its broad scope, it addresses not only the scientific community but also undergraduate and graduate students, representatives of civil society and government, companies in the field of microbiology, as well as Brazilian society in general.

The 33rd Brazilian Congress of Microbiology will be held from October 25th to 28th, 2025, in the city of Aracajú, Sergipe. Its central theme is: “Microbiology in the Context of Climate Change and Artificial Intelligence.”

These are two aspects of great importance today. Due to its biological diversity, Brazil is a central country in addressing climate change and mitigating its causes and impacts. Alongside this, the use of AI to evaluate microbiological issues, assisting in the search for solutions, as well as in basic and applied research and in teaching, will bring great benefits.

This will be another significant moment of growth for Brazilian microbiology.

FoodMicro®, a renowned international event held biennially by the International Committee on Food Microbiology and Hygiene (ICFMH, https://icfmh.org/en), traditionally takes place in a European country. However, for the first time, this prestigious conference is expanding beyond Europe.

From October 25 to 28, 2025, FoodMicro® Latino 2025 will be hosted in Aracaju, Sergipe, Brazil, as a parallel event to the 33rd Brazilian Congress of Microbiology, organized by the Brazilian Society of Microbiology. The event will be led by the Brazilian Association for Food Protection (BRAFP https://brafp.org.br) under the central theme: Sustainability and Food Safety.

The conference aims to foster discussions on sustainable strategies for producing safe food, addressing critical issues that contribute to global food security.
