Welcome to week 3 of the course! In previous weeks, we have discussed the different microbes, their roles and classification along with the classification and properties of common antimicrobials.

During this week of the course, we will build on learning from previous weeks to help you gain an understanding of:

• Drivers of resistance and how it occurs

• Principles of antimicrobial use

• Understanding superbugs and co-resistance

Please continue to contribute to discussions and share your experiences in the comments section.
