Implementing clinical bacteriology in low resource settings: reviving the old, bringing in the new Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
Jan Jacobs, Jan Jacobs
Low resource settings (LRS) are disproportionally hit by antimicrobial resistance but face serious infrastructural, technical and human challenges when implementing clinical bacteriology; among these challenges, we identified appropriate “tropicalized” (i.e. environmentally stable, simple and user-friendly) techniques and embedment in clinical care as priority requirements. The objective of the present PhD proposal is to provide scientific ...
