This week (13-19 November)\u00a0is the WHO’s World Antibiotic Awareness Week<\/a>. The week seeks to raise awareness of issues around antibiotics, and particularly antimicrobial resistance (AMR).<\/p>\n

The School’s multidisciplinary work on AMR, through the Antimicrobial Resistance Centre<\/a>, is based on five ‘disciplinary pillars’; books for these subjects can be found at the following classmarks:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Biological (BJ<\/strong>)\u00a0and pharmacological (RJ<\/strong>)\u00a0sciences<\/li>\n
  2. Clinical (Q<\/strong>)\u00a0and veterinary (X<\/strong>)\u00a0sciences<\/li>\n
  3. Humanities (CBE<\/strong>)\u00a0and environmental (SB<\/strong>)\u00a0sciences<\/li>\n
  4. Epidemiology (EB<\/strong>)\u00a0and modelling (BBP<\/strong>)<\/li>\n
  5. Economic (ZVR<\/strong>), social (ZV<\/strong>), and political\u00a0 (ZVP<\/strong>)\u00a0sciences<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This broad range of disciplines reflects the complexity of the problem of AMR. For those looking for an overview of antibiotics, these can be found under the classmark\u00a0RNPA<\/strong>; some works dealing specifically with issues related to AMR are highlighted below.<\/p>\n
