Responding to
antimicrobial resistance
patterns across Australia
HOTspots is a disease surveillance and response program that monitors antimicrobial resistant (AMR) infections in hospital and community clinic patients.
We launched the HOTspots digital platform in 2019 to support local clinicians to respond to the changing patterns of AMR within their region.
Since then, HOTspots has grown into a program that provides education and training delivered in collaboration with local stakeholders. Up-to-date surveillance data informs local treatment guidelines and clinical decision making.
The program is currently focused on northern Australia but will be expanded to other geographic regions.
The right drug
for the right bug
at the right time
HOTspots offers clinicians local AMR data at the point of care.
Our digital platform synthesises antimicrobial susceptibility testing data with clinical data.
Clinicians can access the information through a user-friendly interface and display the data as plots, maps or antibiograms.
Instant access to information on region-specific AMR trends allows clinicians to select the right drug for the right bug in a timely manner.
