Australia is seeing a growing “silent pandemic” of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), according to a report released by the Australian Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO). The report outlines the challenges that Australia and the world need to overcome to mitigate the rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR).

The report, conducted in collaboration with the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences, calls for greater national coordination and a focus on streamlining commercialization processes for new AMR solutions and technologies.
