Whole genome sequencing in AMR surveillance

Activity: Talks and presentations › Guest lectures, external teaching and course activities at other universities

Description

This Fleming Fund programme, Tackling antimicrobial resistance, comprises a series of online courses. The aim of this programme is to help you to identify, develop and apply skills and knowledge relevant to your role in order to change and improve your working practice and the practice of people that you work with.

Whole genome sequencing in AMR surveillance covers the fundamental principles of whole genome sequencing (WGS) and highlights the growing importance of WGS data in providing important policy-relevant insights for AMR surveillance. The course explores why, when and how WGS should be used as part of AMR surveillance, and supports learners to make a compelling case for utilising sequencing hubs or acquiring the necessary equipment to enhance WGS capacity.
