HOTspots bridging healthcare gaps in rural Australia

In Australia’s rural and remote regions, AMR poses a growing threat to equitable healthcare. The innovative HOTspots tool has revealed high levels of AMR in northern Australia, helping clinicians make smarter, region-specific treatment decisions. By addressing these geographic disparities, HOTspots is driving better health outcomes for some of the country’s most vulnerable communities.

AMR making UTIs more deadly

Common infections like urinary tract infections (UTIs) are becoming more deadly, as AMR makes treatments less effective. A CSIRO study found that patients with drug-resistant UTIs are twice as likely to die compared to those with non-resistant infections. Learn how CSIRO is improving surveillance systems to curb this alarming trend.
