This 100% online Postgraduate certificate will provide you with specialized and updated knowledge on the epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of Multidrug-Resistant Gram Negative Bacteria”

Gram Negative Bacteria have developed resistance to multiple classes of antibiotics, seriously complicating the treatment of common and potentially life-threatening infections. This problem not only increases morbidity and mortality among patients, but also imposes a significant burden on healthcare systems, urgently demanding innovative prevention and control strategies to contain their spread. 

This is how this Postgraduate certificate is born, which will comprehensively address every key aspect of these emerging infections. In this sense, it will delve into the various dimensions of infections by Gram-negative microorganisms, starting with the epidemiology, both in community and nosocomial settings. In addition, the critical relevance of multidrug-resistant infections will be analyzed, highlighting their impact on public health and the need for effective management strategies. 

In addition, the pathogenesis of these infections will be discussed, examining the specific factors, both of the microorganism and the patient, that influence their development. We will also investigate the methodologies for clinical evaluation and the importance of complementary tests, such as blood tests, imaging and microbiological techniques in the diagnosis, and the optimal management of these complex infections.  

Finally, the estimation of severity and risk of acquisition will be covered, introducing traditional and new tools to assess and predict the severity of these infections. Likewise, a complete section will be devoted to empirical and targeted treatment, discussing the microorganisms involved, adjustments according to microbiological results and the management of side effects of antibiotherapy. In short, professionals will be immersed in the functioning of the Optimization of Antimicrobial Use (PROA) teams and their crucial role in promoting the rational use of antibiotics. 

In this way, TECH has launched a complete and fully online university program, accessible through any electronic device connected to the Internet. In addition, it is supported by the innovative Relearning methodology, which focuses on the repeated review of key concepts to ensure an effective and fluent  understanding of the contents.
