Australian Antimicrobial Resistance Network - AAMRNet
In September 2020, MTPConnect announced the formation of an Australian-first network bringing together key stakeholders to address the impact of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) on human health.
The Australian Antimicrobial Resistance network - AAMRNet – has been established following recommendations in a new report, ‘Fighting Superbugs: A Report on the Inaugural Meeting of Australia’s Antimicrobial Resistance Stakeholders’, also released by MTPConnect and prepared in partnership with BioIntelect.
Antimicrobial resistance occurs when microbes such as bacteria become resistant to drugs which once killed them, evolving to become untreatable ‘superbugs’.
