Advice and guidance will be given on test methodology, reading, interpretation and detection of antibiotic resistance phenotypes. Participants are encouraged to test, interpret and report susceptibility tests, using a test panel of organisms.
The lecture sessions are designed to provide a theoretical background to accompany the practical training sessions. Lectures will also include basic principles of susceptibility testing, antibiotic PK/PD, combination antibiotic testing, clinical aspects of infections, antibiotic reporting and antibiotic surveillance.
