你将学到什么
Explain why some bacteria are pathogenic
Explore the structure of bacterial genomes
Describe the uses of different genome sequencing technologies
Investigate how genome data are used to track the spread of bacterial disease
Discuss the role of genome sequencing in stopping the spread of antimicrobial resistance
课程概况
The increase in resistance of harmful bacteria to antibiotics is a major global threat to health. Here we explore bacterial genomes and the use of genome sequencing to identify and track these drug resistant bacteria. Join us to discover how genome research is helping scientists and healthcare professionals track disease outbreaks and prevent the rise of antibiotic resistant ‘superbugs’.
