Educational Materials

The Global Medical Education team has launched its premier podcast series around Antimicrobial Resistance and Stewardship called ‌CRITICAL CONVERSATIONS: Voices from AMR experts!

• Episode 1: The contexte of AMR in Egypt
• Episode 2: Implementation of AMS programs

📱 How to access? 
‌The episodes are available on‌‌ all streaming platforms (Spotify, Deezer, Apple Podcast, Amazon Music, Acast)‌

This booklet aims to guide healthcare professionals through the process of developing and implementing a successful Antimicrobial Stewardship Program (ASP) in their hospital. The pragmatic “ASP Building Blocks” approach used in the booklet makes it a truly ‌“hands-on” resource and a must-read for ASP teams.

This educational booklet provides clinicians with a practical guide to the use of procalcitonin (PCT) for ‌patient monitoring, prognosis of disease severity, and guidance for antibiotic discontinuation.

This document provides summaries of major publications demonstrating the medical value of PCT-guided antibiotic therapy in an easy-to-read format.

This educational booklet explains basic facts concerning the relevance and procedures of in vitro susceptibility testing. It provides information on the essential elements required to perform and utilize susceptibility testing as a tool for optimizing anti-infectious therapy.

This educational booklet on the use of Procalcitonin (PCT) to support Antimicrobial Stewardship (AMS) gathers real-world cases from renowned international experts sharing their experience on the use of this biomarker in their clinical practice. Please note that this educational resource contains the authors’ personal opinions and clinical approaches and does not necessarily represent the viewpoint, strategy or opinions of bioMérieux.

This booklet will focus on principles for optimization of antimicrobial prescription and dosing to treat bacterial infections (non-mycobacterial), as well as the value of determining the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) in customization of antimicrobial therapy, especially for treating critical patients and drug-resistant bacteria.

This booklet covers issues related to carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacilli (mostly carbapenemase producers in Enterobacteriaceae), as well as their clinical relevance, detection, treatment and prevention.

This educational booklet concentrates on the key information needed to understand, diagnose, control and treat Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI), the role of CDI as a quality performance indicator and the importance of diagnostics.

CIDRAP-ASP is pleased to provide a podcast miniseries on Antimicrobial Resistance. This miniseries is supported by an educational grant from bioMérieux.
It will examine the benefits of diagnostic tools, and how they can be integrated into the future of healthcare.

• Episode 1: Improving patient outcomes through diagnostics in stewardship with Duane Newton.
• Episode 2: Improving patient outcomes through diagnostics in stewardship with Tristan Timbrook.
• Episode 3: Improving patient outcomes through diagnostics in stewardship with Eleftherios Mylonakis.

The International Society for Infectious Diseases (ISID) has launched three podcasts, part of a serie, entitled:

• Episode 7: Implementing Antimicrobial Stewardship in Low Resource Settings
• Episode 8: AMR - The Clinical Microbiologist's Impact
• Episode 13: Antimicrobial Updates

These three podcasts have been supported by an educational grant from bioMérieux.

Antimicrobial resistant infections are a major threat to global public health.

In this podcast the speaker, Dr. Daniela Bianco, Partner and Head of Healthcare Area of The European House – Ambrosetti will talk about the role that the strategies to fight the antimicrobial resistance had in the agenda of the G20-2021 and about the advantages that the latest innovations in vitro diagnostics can bring to antimicrobial stewardship strategies.

In this video, Professor Philipp Schuetz presents an educational booklet on the “Use of Procalcitonin to support Antimicrobial Stewardship - A selection of clinical cases”.
