Submodule
Antimicrobial Foundations
Antimicrobial selection begins with likely organisms, site penetration, severity, host factors, local susceptibility, prior exposure, and allergy history.
What to learn
- Cell wall, protein, nucleic acid, and metabolic targets
- Spectrum, bactericidal activity, and resistance
- Cultures, susceptibility, and source control
- Renal dosing, interactions, and concentration monitoring
07.02
Submodule
Bacterial Syndromes
Pneumonia, urinary, skin, abdominal, bloodstream, bone, and central nervous system infections differ in organisms, penetration, source control, and duration.
What to learn
- Community and healthcare exposure
- Site-specific likely pathogens
- Severity and source control
- Empiric, directed, and step-down therapy
07.03
Submodule
Fungal and Opportunistic Infections
Fungal and opportunistic infections require attention to immune status, organism, site, drug penetration, interactions, and treatment-limiting toxicity.
What to learn
- Superficial versus invasive fungal disease
- Azoles, echinocandins, and polyenes
- Opportunistic infections by immune deficit
- Hepatic, renal, electrolyte, and interaction monitoring
07.04
Submodule
Stewardship, Immunization, and Travel
Prevention and stewardship reduce infection burden by improving vaccine use, exposure planning, diagnostic precision, and antimicrobial duration.
What to learn
- Diagnostic stewardship
- Dose, route, duration, and de-escalation
- Routine and risk-based immunization
- Travel exposure, prophylaxis, and counseling
