Objectives
of the Hands on Training
Antimicrobial resistance is a threat to medical and public
health practice. It challenges the control of infectious diseases, jeopardizing
healthcare and imposing huge costs on the government and society. The rational use of
antimicrobials is essential for containing emergence of drug resistance.
With
new multi and pan-drug resistant microorganisms being disseminated in tandem
with older pathogens, the window of opportunity is rapidly closing. WHO’s
slogan of 2011 is still valid today “no action today, no cure tomorrow”. Policies and practices for the prevention and control of
infections are indispensable in fighting antimicrobial resistance. Besides
guidelines antimicrobial
stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of
antimicrobials, improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and
decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
The aim of this hands on workshop for clinical microbiologists is
to present examples of recent resistance developments, discuss reasons for
this, and to provide evidence based recommendations for implementation of
strategies for containment of resistance.
Faculty from American Society of Microbiology USA and PIMS will be
the resource persons.
Objective of the workshop:
Update on burden of antibiotic resistance on health
and economy
Global strategic plan to prevent and control antibiotic
resistance
National plan to detect, prevent and control antibiotic
resistance
Participants will undergo hands
on training on recommended practices for antibiotic testing in diagnostic
laboratory based on latest CLSI guidelines for K-B disc diffusion, E-test -MIC, ESBL, VRE,&
MRSA, Performance, interpretation and trouble
shooting.
Specific case discussions and
reporting for surgical site infections, urinary tract infections and blood
stream infections - Antibiotic Monitoring/ Preparation of antibiogram , interpretation and data analysis
to formulate antibiotic policy
and steps in implementing antibiotic stewardship programmes in hospitals
