The Guardian, Other, 28/02/2023, Donna Lu
The report, published by the CSIRO and the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering, describes antimicrobial resistance as a “looming global health crisis” with the ability to render some of the most critical drugs to modern medicine ineffective. “There is a lack of coordination in the efforts against the rise of antimicrobial resistance, significant data siloes across states and sectors, and a need to increase community understanding about the issues and impacts of antimicrobial resistance,” the report found.
