J Antimicrob Chemother. 2011 Jun:66 Suppl 5:v77-9. doi: 10.1093/jac/dkr131.

Abstract

The e-Bug Project provides useful educational tools that can be implemented in primary and secondary schools, and plays important role in reducing the burden of community-acquired infections. Consideration of the Polish education system and educational programmes in schools facilitated the selection of the best age groups for the implementation of e-Bug materials in Poland. The Polish version of the resources has been reviewed by a special group of experts and teachers from pilot schools. The pilot implementation is currently provided by demonstration lessons for educators and recorded as a demonstration material. The e-Bug teaching pack is a valuable resource that is useful for improving knowledge about microorganisms, hygiene and antimicrobial agents, and is aimed at pupils, teachers and parents.
