2^nd International Conference on Infectious Diseases & Diagnostic Microbiology September 13-14, 2017 Dallas, Texas, USA

Dallas is located on the rolling prairies of northeast Texas, where the three branches of the Trinity River merge. It is the second-largest city in Texas and the eighth-largest city in the United States. The city's prominence arose from its historical importance as a center for the oil and cotton industries, and its position along numerous railroad lines. Dallas developed as a strong industrial and financial center, and a major inland port, due to the convergence of major railroad lines, interstate highways, and the construction of Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, one of the largest and busiest airports in the world. The city was rated as a "beta plus" world city by the Globalization and World Cities Study Group & Network, and was 14th in world rankings of GDP by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. Dallas, like many other cities, was founded along a river. The city was founded at the location of a "white rock crossing" of the Trinity River. Dallas has a large community college enrolment.  Dallas and its nearby communities are home to 45 colleges and universities, which attract more than 250,000 students to the area each year.

                                     Dallas, a modern metropolis in north Texas, is a commercial and cultural hub of the region. The Sixth Floor Museum, the John F. Kennedy Memorial, and the Conspiracy Museum all explore the life of President John F. Kennedy and his eventual assassination in Dallas. The Sixth Floor Museum is in the former Texas School Book Depository, the site from where Lee Harvey Oswald shot President Kennedy. The city is probably best known for its cotton products. Dallas is becoming a high-tech centre, and the Infomart complex has offices and showrooms for many high-tech information companies.
