Gut Microbiota, AMR, and Outbreaks - Microbial Minutes
Offered By: American Society for Microbiology via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the latest developments in microbiology research and outbreaks in this 37-minute video from the American Society for Microbiology's Microbial Minutes series. Delve into cutting-edge studies on gut microbiota, antimicrobial resistance, and disease outbreaks. Learn about the influence of intestinal microbiome on checkpoint blockade therapy, the discovery of plasmid-borne mcr-1 in colistin-resistant Shigella flexneri, and the challenges posed by carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae. Examine the Lassa fever outbreak in Nigeria and recent measles outbreaks globally. Gain insights into the role of DHN-melanin recognition in immunity against Aspergillus.
