Learning Objectives
The course focuses on antibiotic/antimicrobial resistance, which represents a rising concern for human health worldwide. The students will acquire a general knowledge on: i) the origin of antimicrobial resistance; ii) the selection and spread of resistance determinants both in clinical and environmental settings; iii) the main mechanisms adopted by microorganisms to survive antimicrobial exposure, and iv) the routine techniques used to investigate antimicrobial resistance.
