Exploring Antibiotic Resistance in Microbiomes – Health Course

Who is the course for?

This course will be particularly useful for clinicians, basic research students, and scientists in health-science fields, as well as public health professionals. You may also find it appealing if you work in the field of bioinformatics, with a special interest in strengthening multi-disciplinary collaborations.

What will you achieve?

By the end of the course, you‘ll be able to…

Reflect upon the urgency in addressing the antimicrobial resistance crisis

Demonstrate knowledge on why microbial communities and the antibiotic resistance genes they carry-the resistome-are relevant for the understanding of drug resistance

Discuss the consequences of the off-target impact of antibiotics on microbial communities

Demonstrate knowledge on how resistome studies are designed and conducted

Apply the acquired knowledge in a hands-on activity that uses ResistoXplorer for visual, statistical and functional analysis of resistome data
