The report examines international antimicrobial
resistance surveillance models, current activities
undertaken by Australian surveillance units; activities
undertaken by the Australian Group on Antimicrobial
Resistance, and the National Antimicrobial Utilisation
Program, and examines how reports from routine
diagnostic laboratories might provide a source of
data to contain antimicrobial resistance.
While acknowledging the importance of
antimicrobial resistance and antibiotic use
in veterinary and agricultural practice, the
scope of this report is limited to bacteria in
the context of human health.
The report is consistent with Australia’s
Communicable Disease Control Framework, and
proposes options applicable to the Australian
context for short, medium and longer terms
actions. The recommendations centre on national
coordination using a ‘One Health’ framework linking
together data on resistance and antibiotic use from
humans, animals and agriculture to provide a national
picture of AMR to guide action on preserving the
effectiveness of antimicrobial agents.
