Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing global threat, driven by the overuse of antibiotics and disinfectants. This webinar explores resistance mechanisms, cross-resistance risks, and the role of proactive disinfection. Gain insights into choosing the appropriate disinfectant for combatting AMR.
💡 Topic: Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR)
🗣️ Speaker: Sam Hardy, Senior Study Manager
What to Expect:
- Antimicrobials and Resistance Mechanisms: Understand how pathogens have developed mechanisms to tolerate commonly used disinfectants
- Antimicrobial Tolerance and Cross-Resistance: What leads to developing resistance to disinfectants and its link to antibiotic resistance.
- Learn why moving away from low-level disinfectants and choosing a chemistry such as chlorine dioxide could tip the scale for AMR.
