Abstract

Divulsuperbac (DSB) is an outreach project involving a Service-Learning component aimed at the educational community. Launched in 2019, it has involved Biology degree students in a Microbiology-focused initiative within the Valencian Community (Spain) for four academic years. The DSB project includes various outreach activities designed to raise awareness of the threat posed by superbugs among pre-university students. Under the supervision of their professors, university students created an exhibition featuring 14 infographics on antimicrobial resistance. These infographics were presented at 23 high schools (HS), where university students explained the issue to HS students (aged 15-16) and assessed their understanding of the topic. The activity was supported by HS teachers. Surveys indicated scores of around 4 out of 5 in terms of overall scientific interest and knowledge gained about antibiotic resistance. These positive results have inspired us to expand the project to other regions of the world.

DIVULSUPERBAC：提高对抗菌药耐药性认识的外联项目。

Divulsuperbac（DSB）是一个外联项目，其中包含针对教育界的服务学习内容。该项目于 2019 年启动，生物学位学生参与了巴伦西亚社区（西班牙）的一项以微生物学为重点的倡议，为期四个学年。DSB 项目包括各种外联活动，旨在提高大学前教育专业学生对超级细菌威胁的认识。在教授的指导下，大学生们制作了一个展览，展出了 14 幅有关抗菌药耐药性的信息图表。这些信息图表在 23 所高中（HS）展出，大学生向高中学生（15-16 岁）解释了这一问题，并评估了他们对这一主题的理解。这项活动得到了高中教师的支持。调查显示，在对抗生素耐药性的整体科学兴趣和知识获得方面，得分约为 4 分（满分 5 分）。这些积极的结果激励我们将该项目推广到世界其他地区。

期刊介绍： FEMS Microbiology Letters gives priority to concise papers that merit rapid publication by virtue of their originality, general interest and contribution to new developments in microbiology. All aspects of microbiology, including virology, are covered. 2019 Impact Factor: 1.987, Journal Citation Reports (Source Clarivate, 2020) Ranking: 98/135 (Microbiology) The journal is divided into eight Sections: Physiology and Biochemistry (including genetics, molecular biology and ‘omic’ studies) Food Microbiology (from food production and biotechnology to spoilage and food borne pathogens) Biotechnology and Synthetic Biology Pathogens and Pathogenicity (including medical, veterinary, plant and insect pathogens – particularly those relating to food security – with the exception of viruses) Environmental Microbiology (including ecophysiology, ecogenomics and meta-omic studies) Virology (viruses infecting any organism, including Bacteria and Archaea) Taxonomy and Systematics (for publication of novel taxa, taxonomic reclassifications and reviews of a taxonomic nature) Professional Development (including education, training, CPD, research assessment frameworks, research and publication metrics, best-practice, careers and history of microbiology) If you are unsure which Section is most appropriate for your manuscript, for example in the case of transdisciplinary studies, we recommend that you contact the Editor-In-Chief by email prior to submission. Our scope includes any type of microorganism - all members of the Bacteria and the Archaea and microbial members of the Eukarya (yeasts, filamentous fungi, microbial algae, protozoa, oomycetes, myxomycetes, etc.) as well as all viruses.
