In 2019, Biointelect and MTPConnect convened a multi-disciplinary workshop to bring together key stakeholders in the sector (Regulators, state / territory governments, academia, industry) to discuss the threat of antimicrobial resistance and what could be achieved in collaboration. 

This workshop led to the creation of the report ‘Fighting Superbugs: A Report on the Inaugural Meeting of Australia’s Antimicrobial Resistance Stakeholders’ which made a series of recommendations for new and improved approaches. The Australian Antimicrobial Resistance network (AAMRNet) has been established in 2020 following recommendations made in this report.
