Introduction to the Program

By enrolling in this program, you will be empowering yourself to prevent the rise of antibiotic resistance”

##IMAGE##

In humans, infections are caused by microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. Although there are millions of these microbes in the world, only a small number are capable of causing an infectious reaction. In addition, over the years, these pathogens have developed new ways to evade the drugs designed to fight them, increasing the lethal risk of infections.  

For this reason, the program of this Postgraduate diploma has been designed to focus specifically on antivirals, antifungals, antiparasitics and the development of antibiotic resistance. Therefore, students will obtain specialized knowledge in each of them, starting with the general aspects and use of antivirals, which are used for diseases such as hepatitis, influenza and respiratory viruses.  

On the other hand, antifungals are substances used to inhibit and destroy the harmful effects of fungi that cause infections in the human body. The program will classify them according to their chemical structure and mechanisms of action (local and systemic). In this way, the antimicrobial spectrum and the therapeutic use of amphotericin B and local antifungals will be known.  

This group also includes antiparasitics, used to treat parasitosis or infectious diseases caused by parasites. As in the previous modules, the student will learn the general aspects of these drugs and their classification. Also taking into account the new advances and recommendations of the WHO for its use and regulation.  

For all these reasons, the program will help graduating students to broaden their employment options, allowing them to access a market that demands experts willing to study and deploy new antibiotics. They will also be prepared to conduct independent research focused on the development of new drugs.

Postgraduate Diploma in Antivirals, Antimycotics, Antiparasitics and the Development of Antibiotic Resistance

Antivirals, antifungals and antiparasitics are drugs designed to treat infections caused by viruses, fungi and parasites, respectively. How these drugs work depends on the nature of the infection in question, but each is known to attack different aspects of the infectious agent.

Antivirals are drugs specifically designed to treat viral infections. They are designed to inhibit the replication of viruses and thus prevent the progression of the infection. Some antivirals are able to reduce the duration and severity of symptoms of viral infections, while others can prevent infection.

Antifungal drugs are medications designed to treat fungal infections. These drugs can fight a broad spectrum of fungal infections and are available in different forms, including pills, gels and even shampoos. Some types of antifungals act topically, while others are administered orally or intravenously.

Antifungals are medications designed to treat parasitic infections. The type of antiparasitic used depends on the type of parasite involved. Some dewormers are able to directly attack the parasites, which can kill them or prevent them from reproducing. Others work to strengthen the host's immune system to fight the infection.

Antibiotic resistance is the phenomenon by which bacteria, fungi, viruses and parasites become resistant to the drugs that used to fight them. This can occur through different mechanisms, in some cases favored by the excessive or inappropriate use of antibiotics and other drugs. Once resistance occurs, treatment can become ineffective, which can lead to infections becoming worse and much more difficult to treat.

The goal of this academic program is to provide students with advanced knowledge on the design, development, evaluation and use of antiviral, antifungal and antiparasitic drugs and the challenges related to the development of antimicrobial resistance.
