Webinar: Pharmacology of Antimicrobials and Resistance

13 April 2022 12:30 – 14:00 IST

Understanding the basic pharmacology of antimicrobials and resistance is important preventing AMR. The concepts of pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics of antimicrobials, oral bioavailability of antimicrobials, and the concept of time-dependant antimicrobials helps in optimizing the use of antimicrobials. This is crucial in understanding  the mechanisms by which microorganisms develop antimicrobial resistance. The webinar aimed at reviewing how appropriate choice and use of empiric antimicrobial therapy and the use of guidelines is important in preventing, managing and spread of resistant organisms”
