In the scope of the Portugal-Germany Bilateral Mobility Project 2022.15300.CBM, co-funded by FCT (Portugal) and DAAD (Germany), the “2ndSummer School on Antimicrobial and Biocide Resistance” will take place from 22nd – 26th of July 2024, in hybrid format (online or onsite in Lisbon, Portugal).
This second edition includes a theoretical component (online) and an optional practical component (presential).
The theoretical component will cover the following topics:
- Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in a One Health perspective
– Mechanisms of bacterial antimicrobial and biocide resistance
– AMR transfer and dissemination
– Efflux-mediated AMR
The practical component will focus on:
– Methodologies for evaluation of antimicrobial susceptibility
– Estimation of epidemiological cut-off (ECOFF) values to predict decreased susceptibility to biocides
– Isolation of genomic DNA for long-read sequencing
– Prediction of AMR by whole-genome sequencing data analysis
The deadline for application to the Summer School is 21st June 2024. If you haven’t registered yet, do it now!
