Pathogens are becoming increasingly resistant to our available treatments, driving the spread and worsening the impact of infectious diseases. This course offers an in-depth examination of the key challenges of antimicrobial resistance in human biology, with a focus on the complexities of human health. Students will investigate how microbes develop drug resistance, how this knowledge can be used to counteract resistance, and how environmental and societal factors influence our responses to this growing global threat.
