Antibiotic resistance - principle and strategies

About this course

The course will cowl subjects associated to resistance with fundamental definitions and an outline of antibiotic use and the emergence and unfold of resistance. The course will information you thru the ideas and significance of spreading and disseminating drug resistance and the way it occurs. It would present you ways micro organism change into resistant and what mechanism they will use to do that. And as a part of the course, additionally, you will obtain coaching in antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) strategies and particular resistance detection in microbiology laboratories with the essential strategies out there. and deal with getting good high quality outcomes that may be interpreted and used for various functions.

As well as, it can train you learn how to use genomic evaluation instruments to research complete genome sequence information to detect resistance genes (and different genes of curiosity) in a easy and straightforward means. simply with freely out there on-line instruments. Within the new new model, a further module together with detection of particular resistance mechanisms has been added. After this course it is possible for you to to: 1. Describe a very powerful antibiotic households and the way they work 2. Perceive the essential ideas of antibiotic resistance from a number of views (scientific, analysis and microorganisms) 3. Checklist and describe how micro organism can change into resistant and the potential mechanisms concerned in that course of 4. Describe how antibiotic resistance emerged and unfold around the globe together with contains the ideas of switch, choice, and dissemination of antibiotic resistance 5. Checklist strategies used for antibiotic resistance testing (AST) 6. Evaluate dilution and diffusion strategies and know the essential strategies of agar plate diffusion, media dilution and agar dilution strategies 7. Have detailed theoretical data of learn how to carry out main laboratory strategies 8. Know the fundamentals of analyzing and deciphering AST outcomes, together with the varied breakpoints, ablation settings, and their functions. 9. Perceive the significance and associated ideas of high quality administration and standardization of the standard assurance methodology, as relevant to AST 10. Relate the data gained on this course to instances actuality of drug-resistant micro organism spreading in sufferers, communities, animals, or the setting 11. Relate phenotypic outcomes to outcomes from molecular genotyping to detect resistance mechanisms 12 Perceive the idea and be capable of apply genomic evaluation instruments used to detect resistance genes and different associated genes from Entire Genome Sequencing (WGS) information (with demonstration of on-line instruments) Disclaimer: Please be aware that the ideas and strategies talked about or linked in these supplies are up to date because the video lectures are produced and earlier than the course is launched. , nevertheless they could change into out of date over time.

Welcome to the course

This module is principally a welcome to the course as yow will discover details about the Course construction, what you’ll study within the subsequent modules, grading, introduction to the teacher. members and instructing supplies.

Module A- Antibacterial and Antimicrobial Motion

Antibiotics and antibacterial motion (contains two lectures and a quiz). Right here you’ll study lots about antibiotics / antimicrobials and you’ll know extra about: what they’re, the place they arrive from, what are the principle teams and the way can we classify them, the consequences How are they, what are their results? on bacterial cells

Module F- Various to AST- Genome Evaluation Device

As an alternative choice to phenotypic strategies, the researcher might determine to make use of genotype-based strategies to determine genes of curiosity. Within the lectures of this module, we current the Resfinder instrument that can be utilized to seek out resistance mechanisms (genes and in future variations additionally particular level mutations) from entire sequences genome of the micro organism of curiosity. The second lecture was an indication of My DB Finder which can be utilized to determine user-defined genes of curiosity from whole-genome sequence information.
