Course: Antimicrobial Databases and Genotype Prediction: Data Sharing and Analysis

Combining comparative analysis approaches with AMR detection opens the door to a wide range of analyses. One primary research area that used these tools is AMR epidemiology, which focuses on …

The transmission of AMR amongst bacterial populations is important to understand, from epidemiological and clinical standpoints When identifying AMR mechanisms like those covered in steps 1.7 and 1.8, it is …

In this video, Conor explains how we can start to move beyond simple correlation studies and start leveraging machine learning and artificial intelligence to find complex patterns of AMR mechanisms. …

Week 3 educator Kristy is welcoming you to this week learning In this final week of the course, Kristy introduces the focus on advanced analysis of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) data. …

In this screencast, Conor summarises three primary methods used for genotype-phenotype correlations in antimicrobial resistance research: in-vitro, in-silico, and epidemiological approaches. In-vitro studies involve controlled laboratory experiments where specific genes …

Watch the screencast with Kristy explaining the output from the Comprehensive Antibiotic Resistance Database (CARD) after analyzing a Salmonella genome for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes. The CARD database provides detailed …

We have just covered a range of databases that contain bacterial AMR mechanisms and you have heard about their strengths and weaknesses. In this section we are going to cover …

Aquired antibiotic resistance In addition to the intrinsic mechanisms of resistance, bacterial pathogens can acquire genes and mutations that mediate resistance to antibiotics. In some cases, bacteria can develop resistance …

Let’s start with an overview of the mechanisms of resistance Intrinsic resistance refers to the natural resistance of bacterial species to certain antibiotic or family of antibiotics, without the need …

What you can do next Free Digital Certificate of Achievement This is a Sponsored course, which means that learners can obtain a free Certificate once they become eligible. To be …

Congratulations on reaching the end of the course! In the final week of the course, led by Kristy, the focus was on advanced analysis and applications of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) …

In this week, we covered the foundations of how we link genotypic and phenotypic antimicrobial resistance data together. We covered the genetic basis for antimicrobial resistance in bacteria and gave …

This week’s learning builds upon the Week 1 fundamentals about the antimicrobial resistance Week 2 focused on detecting antimicrobial resistance in genome data. Key topics included evaluating three major AMR …

Glossary of terms & acronyms used in this course Here is a list of terms used in this course – you can download this glossary from the bottom of this …

What are the next three weeks about? In Week 1 of the course, you will have an opportunity to refresh the basic mechanisms of Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and how we …
