Description

Over 90 years ago with the discovery of the first effective and safe antibiotic, everyone expected life is going to be easier, the microbes that once used to threaten us, Cause us lifelong terrible injuries and take the lives of the people we love are finally becoming simply beatable. So Antibiotics indeed saved our lives big time, But our enemies were not any less of smart, they fought us back and didn’t just surrender, and honestly thanks to us, we’ve helped.

The unwise & Unjustifiable use of antibiotics together with the rapid continues genetic mutations bacteria undergoes have led to evolution of resistant strains that continues to Mercilessly destroy our bodies.

Every year, more & more reported cases of infections caused by bacteria found to be resistant to every antibiotic we know are growing everywhere in the world. And more over, no new antibiotics are being developed, The growing question now is: are we heading for a post antibiotics era where common infections and minor injuries that have been treatable for decades are going kill us again?

That’s exactly why this course is being published, I believe more health care professionals have to have a solid understanding of Antibiotics, their chemistry and pharmacology, uses, side effects, and wise treatment regimens for different infections and conditions.

Who this course is for:

  • Students enrolled or willing to enroll in faculty of Medicine, Pharmacy or nursing.
  • Professional physicians, Pharmacists or nursed
  • Health Care Providers
