Description
Themes related to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in the USask signature area of One Health will be introduced through formal introductory lectures, followed by presentation and discussion and critique of primary research articles. Students are required to study all the manuscripts ahead of time and are encouraged to actively participate in the in-class discussions and activities. Graduate students are expected to take a more engaged, leadership role in class discussions. An emphasis will be placed on the critical analysis of the research articles discussed. Methods generally applicable and of interest to the field will also be discussed. Topics to be addressed include but are not limited to defining AMR, AMR in a historical context, canonical mechanisms of resistance in One Health pathogens, surveillance and transmission of AMR in the environment, emerging and novel mechanisms of resistance, and treatment strategies for extensively drug-resistant pathogens.
Prerequisite(s): BMIS 325.3 or permission of the course coordinator.
