Al finalizar el curso, no solo tendrás una comprensión segura de la clasificación, estructura y funciones de los microbios, sino que también estarás familiarizado con su identificación en el laboratorio y los sitios comunes de infección.

Conoce los conceptos de optimización de antimicrobianos y resistencia a los antimicrobianos (RAM)
En este curso, aprenderás a definir la resistencia a los antimicrobianos, sus mecanismos, impulsores y corresistencia. Aprende cómo actúan los microbios y los antimicrobianos, y cómo se produce la resistencia a los antimicrobianos (RAM).
Conoce los conceptos básicos de las «bacterias superresistentes» y analiza los resultados de las pruebas de susceptibilidad antimicrobiana (AST) o antibiogramas, incluidos sus diferentes puntos de ruptura, puntos de corte y su aplicación en el contexto clínico.

Aprende las técnicas antimicrobianas de laboratorio
Descifra cómo tomar muestras y especímenes para detectar microbios, así como los métodos para estudiar la susceptibilidad a los antimicrobianos en el laboratorio.
Aprende a comparar sustancias bactericidas y bacteriostáticas, observa cómo se mueven por el cuerpo mediante el estudio de modelos PK/PD (farmacocinéticos/farmacodinámicos) y aprende cómo aumentar la eficacia de los antimicrobianos en función de los resultados.

What topics will you cover?

  • Los conceptos básicos de los microbios: clasificación, estructura, funciones y sitios de infección, entre otros.
  • Clasificación de los antimicrobianos y los mecanismos básicos, PK/PD y cómo aumentar la eficacia de los antimicrobianos.
  • Resistencia a los antimicrobianos: definiciones, mecanismos, impulsores, corresistencia y cómo se producen las «bacterias superresistentes». Agentes antimicrobianos y principios de uso de los antimicrobianos.
  • Pruebas de susceptibilidad a los antimicrobianos: técnicas de laboratorio y cómo utilizar la información o datos obtenidos.
  • Capacidad e idoneidad de los recursos: qué se puede hacer tanto con recursos escasos como en situaciones en las que hay una mayor disponibilidad.

What will you achieve?
By the end of the course, you‘ll be able to...

  • Identificar los microbios comunes, su clasificación y función, dónde pueden colonizarse y dónde pueden causar infecciones comunes.
  • Demostrar la comprensión de los microbios más importantes y cómo funcionan, conceptos básicos acerca de la resistencia a los antimicrobianos, cómo las bacterias son resistentes y las «bacterias superresistentes».
  • Explicar los diferentes métodos utilizados para las pruebas de susceptibilidad a los antimicrobianos y los conceptos básicos sobre el análisis y la interpretación de los resultados de la AST.
  • Justificar la importancia de la gestión de la calidad y la garantía de la AST, así como el uso de las directrices.
