Enroll in the program and help the scientific community to develop antibiotics that fight virus mutations"

Within the scientific community, there is a wide variety of antibiotics that help fight bacterial diseases. Even so, bacterial resistance constitutes one of the greatest threats to global health, food safety and scientific development.

Taking into account the importance of the figure of the pharmacist in this sector, this postgraduate diploma in Antibiotics in the Treatment of Bacterial Infections has been developed. In this way, students will learn about the most current knowledge in the field of antibiotics, with emphasis on advances in the development of more effective drugs to combat certain viruses.

Thus, the degree will begin by learning about the emergence of antimicrobial therapy, classifying the different drugs by their general elements and their role in the prevention of global morbidity. Then, the advances in the study of penicillins and cephalosporins will be presented, the latter being a beta-lactam antibiotic.

On the other hand, a study will be made of antibiotics used specifically for respiratory diseases, such as Macrolides, which prevent bacteria from producing the proteins they need to grow and multiply. Finally, the recommendations for the use of antibiotics in outpatients and the follow-up that should be carried out to avoid overuse will be discussed.

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 develop new drugs. They will also be prepared to conduct independent research focused on the development of new antibiotics.

Antibiotic resistance is one of the greatest threats to global health”

This postgraduate diploma in Antibiotics in the Treatment of Bacterial Infections contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. The most important features include: 

• The development of case studies presented by experts focused on advances in antibiotic therapy and antibiotic resistance
• The graphic, schematic, and practical contents with which they are created, provide scientific and practical information on the disciplines that are essential for professional practice
• Practical exercises where the self-assessment process can be carried out to improve learning
• Its special emphasis on innovative methodologies
• Theoretical lessons, questions to the expert, debate forums on controversial topics, and individual reflection assignments
• Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection

It delves into the mechanism of action of different drugs such as cyclic lipopeptides, macrolides or ketolides"

The program’s teaching staff includes professionals from the sector who contribute their work experience to this educational program, as well as renowned specialists from leading societies and prestigious universities.

Its multimedia content, developed with the latest educational technology, will provide the professional with situated and contextual learning, i.e., a simulated environment that will provide an immersion education programmed to learn in real situations.

The design of this program focuses on Problem-Based Learning, by means of which the professional must try to solve the different professional practice situations that are presented throughout the academic course. For this purpose, the student will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned experts.
