Workshop Convenor
Dr John Merlino Antimicrobial SIG Convenor/Chair;
Department of Microbiology & Infectious Diseases,
Concord Hospital NSW
Hosted by Antimicrobials Special Interest Group,
Australian Society for Microbiology
Overview
Upon completion of this workshop, the attendee
should be able to:
-
Describe the important antimicrobial resistance
mechanisms of problematic bacterial pathogens
such as in Gram-positives MRSA/CMRSA USA300,
EMRSA-15, hVISA/VISA, VRE, and in Gram negatives
resistance to Beta-lactamase resistance such as
MBL, ESBL, AMPC, KPC etc
-
Apply CLSI and CDS latest Standardised
Guidelines to detect resistance antimicrobial
agents in the laboratory in the light of
evolving resistance in various organisms; and
-
Understand the various phenotypic and molecular
methods and approaches used to track the
development of antibiotic resistance -
epidemiology.
