Resumo:The "#Adopt" Project integrates digital media with education to facilitate active learning in the area of Microbiology. Students of the undergraduate course in Biomedical Sciences at the University of São Paulo (USP) actively engage online in research and discussions using social media networks to collectively build knowledge. Group of students "adopted" bacteria of the genus Staphylococcus as a focus, using a creative musical parody to understand and disseminate its meaning. Staphylococcus, a clinically relevant genus of Gram-positive bacteria, are known for their diverse pathogenic potential. S. aureus, a widely studied species, can cause various infections and commonly resides on human skin and mucosal surfaces, making it an opportunistic pathogen and one of the main causes of nosocomial infections. The emergence of methicillin-resistant S.aureus (MRSA) has compounded public health concerns due to its resistance to multiple antibiotics. Motivated by the clinical importance of Staphylococcus, the students applied the “#Adopt” project methodology that uses the Instagram network and created a musical parody as the final product to explore the acquired learning. The creative approach deepened your understanding and resulted in a unique educational resource, facilitated content retention and knowledge dissemination, enhancing the learning experience. The success of the "#Adopt" project at USP attracted the interest of educators and the public. The dissemination of the project's content on social media platforms, such as Instagram® and YouTube®, reached a wide audience, promoting active learning methodologies and scientific dissemination. The use of music and social media to explore the clinical relevance of Staphylococcus provides a dynamic approach to microbiology education, emphasizing its importance in healthcare. We conclude that excellent performance of students results from applying an active learning process that increases engagement and underscores the importance of Staphylococcus in clinical settings, promoting a deeper understanding of infectious diseases and their impact on human health.
