Course Objectives
The course provides participants with updated background information and a practical approach to the study of clinically relevant mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance. This edition of the Workshop focuses on Pseudomonas aeruginosa expressing extended spectrum beta-lactamases or carbapenemases, with altered outer membrane permeability, mutations in QRDR of the DNA gyrase, mutations in the mismatch repair system genes, and hyperexpressing efflux pumps or the chromosomal beta-lactamase AmpC.

Target Audience
20 young scientists with previous training in Clinical Microbiology or Infectious Diseases who are interested in the study of antimicrobial resistance.
