External Resources – Partnerships in the fight against AMR.

The ESICM's educational initiative on antimicrobial stewardship for severe infections aims to enhance clinicians' understanding of antimicrobial resistance and optimize treatment practices. The program offers resources and training on implementing stewardship strategies in critical care settings, helping to improve patient outcomes and combat antibiotic resistance.

Discover the Global Point Prevalence Survey (Gobal-PPS) through video interviews and educational resources. 

bioMérieux is the sole industrial partner of the Global Point Prevalence Survey.

The goal of this activity is for learners to be better able to incorporate multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing into the comprehensive management of patients with infectious diseases to improve antibiotic stewardship practices.

This activity is supported by an educational grant from bioMérieux, Inc.

The Global Health Continuing Professional Development (GHCPD) program and the International Diagnostics Centre at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (IDC/LSHTM) launched in 2022 a free 3-week online course curriculum covering the microbiology laboratory in the fight against AMR.

Three modules:

• The role of the microbiology laboratory in the fight against AMR
• The AMR laboratory: antibiotic susceptibility and resistance testing for clinical care
• Role of the laboratory in the prevention and control of AMR in healthcare settings

In addition, an AMR Case Studies Series has been launched in 2023.

This course has been supported by an unrestricted educational grant from bioMérieux.

This activity has been developed independently by PeerVoice. It includes six episodes by Dr Payal Patel and Dr Kay Roy.

The British Society for Antimicrobial Chemotherapy (BSAC), launched in April 2021 a free online course, supported by an educational grant from bioMérieux, focusing on defining syndromic testing and highlighting how it can benefit the patient experience and assist with personalizing patient care.

The Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP) is a center within the University of Minnesota that focuses on addressing public health preparedness and emerging infectious disease response. It was founded in 2001 by Michael Osterholm, in order to "prevent illness and death from infectious diseases through epidemiological research and rapid translation of scientific information into real-world practical applications and solutions".
