Joint Teaching Units

 

A Joint Teaching Unit includes one recorded lecture of 40 min  and a live session of questions and answers in which students can directly interact with the lecturer. Students of DAMR Universities might ask for the recognition of 1 Euopean Credit Transfer System (ECTS) upon reaching a positive score in a dedicated on-line questionnaire.

​

Joint Teaching Units are gathered in three sections. 

 

State of the Art

• Antimicrobial Resistance: origins, mechanisms of resistance, transmission of resistance between bacteria

• AMR, WGS and One Health

• The perfect storm is knocking on my door

• Antimicrobial susceptibility testing of bacteria from animals

• Mechanisms of antibiotic resistance and their genetic supports in Gram-negative bacteria of clinical importance

• Antibiotic resistance genes and related cassettes into natural environments

 

Antimicrobial agents in Veterinary Science

• Prudent use of antimicrobials in veterinary medicine

• Use of antibiotics in animal related practices

• Nutritional strategies to reduce the antibiotic need in weaned pigs

• Network-based approaches to Food Safety and Antimicrobial Resistance: a survey

Applications of new molecular technologies in antimicrobial resistance

• Application of WGS to trace L. monocytogenes in a rabbit meat processing plant: the concept of persistence beyond resistance

• Acinetobacter spp. sequencing for assessing the complete AMR profile using the Oxford Nanopore MinION device

• Metagenomics and AMR using hybrid sequencing technologies

• Tracing evolution of AMR using WGS

• WGS and Phylogeny in prokaryotes and eukaryotes

• Integrons and WGS

• Molecular typing of Gram-negative MDR pathogens: different approaches for different aims
