DESCRIPTION:# Overview\n\n\n* **Duration**: 3 weeks\, 3 hours per week\n* F
 ree\n* Certificate of achievement available on satisfactory completion\n* 
 **CPD Approval**: Royal College of Pathologists (9 credits)\, Royal Colleg
 e of Nursing (9 credits)\n* **Start Date**: The course is run ‘live’ f
 or 3 weeks from the start date above. Once this period is over there will 
 be no live monitoring of the forums\, but you can still join and complete 
 the course during the remaining period.\n\n### Why join the course?\n\nThe
  increase in resistance of harmful bacteria to antibiotics is a major glob
 al threat to health. Here we explore bacterial genomes and the use of geno
 me sequencing to identify and track these drug resistant bacteria. Join us
  to discover how genome research is helping scientists and healthcare prof
 essionals track disease outbreaks and prevent the rise of antibiotic resis
 tant ‘superbugs’.\n\n### Who is the course for?\n\nThis course will be
  of interest to scientists\, healthcare professionals\, biomedical researc
 hers and bioinformaticians. The course offers all learners an opportunity 
 to learn about genomes\, disease\, and antimicrobial resistance. You requi
 re no previous knowledge of genome science to complete the course.\n\n### 
 What do people say about this course?\n\n"_I would definitely point studen
 ts to this resource. Text\, videos\, and figures were all very well done._
 " Pablo Tsukayama\, Assistant Professor of Microbiology "_A highlight of t
 he course was the introduction to whole genome sequencing – new informat
 ion for me._" Christine Laws\, Medical Doctor “_Exchanging genetic infor
 mation quickly throughout the world is clearly going to revolutionise the 
 ability to combat disease._” Prue van der Hoorn\, Artist\n\n# Programme 
 and start dates\n\n### Course start dates\n\nThis course is repeated twice
  a year.\n\n### What topics will you cover?\n\n\n* Diseases caused by bact
 eria\n* What bacterial genomes look like\n* Genome sequencing technology\n
 * Mechanisms of transmission and resistance\n* Genomic epidemiology – tr
 acking the spread of bacterial pathogens\n* Antimicrobial resistance\n\n##
 # What will you achieve?\n\nBy the end of the course\, you'll be able to..
 .\n\n* Explain why some bacteria are pathogenic\n* Explore the structure o
 f bacterial genomes\n* Describe the uses of different genome sequencing te
 chnologies\n* Investigate how genome data are used to track the spread of 
 bacterial disease\n* Discuss the role of genome sequencing in stopping the
  spread of antimicrobial resistance\n\n# Educators\n\n## **Lead Educators*
