Die bisher wenig untersuchten Nicht-tuberkulösen Mykobakterien (NTM) können schwere Lungeninfektionen & Lymphknotenentzündungen verursachen & sind schwierig zu behandeln. Am FZB werden Mechanismen untersucht, die zu der Bildung von Resistenzen bei diesen Bakterien führen. #WAAW24

📌Day 3/5: Session 1 was on an “overview on Biobanking” delivered by Mathurin Diatta (The Biobank manager @mrcunitgambia )
He lectured on the types and organization of Biobanks, sample management systems, sustainability plans, emergency preparedness, advantages of Biobanks.🤝

We are running a massive online open course on AMR databases starting end of the month. Its completely free, study at your own pace and its ~15 hours overall over the 3 weeks (although you can finish any time in a year). Please spread in your networks! https://t.co/n6LU8VDeTw
