History of Antimicrobial Resistance, things that propagate its global spread and its dangers

Concepts of antimicrobial resistance, ranging from specific bacteria that have developed antibiotic resistance to methods to prevent antibiotic misuse.

So much in the best way! Some things learned: lectures/readings on specific pathogenic bacteria, vaccine development, antimicrobial resistance in LMICs, antimicrobial resistance and agriculture, etc.

History and mechanisms of Antimicrobial resistance

Learned about the global problem of antimicrobial resistance and about specific pathogens and sub-issues within this topic.

Chill seminar with low workload. Really lets you focus on just learning.

I learned about various microbes, antimicrobial agents, and the threat that antimicrobial resistance poses today within numerous contexts. I also learned a lot of ID methodologies and how to read and interpret the ID literature.

A lot about different types of antibiotics, epidemiologies, and historical premises of different pathogens. We learned about the issues with antimicrobial resistance spread and current treatments/ programs being instituted.

Antimicrobial resistance, biology, epidemiology and mechanisms of action of various pathogens.

So much! Microbiology, epidemiology, how to read research papers, how to give a long presentation, etc.
