Antimicrobial Resistance Panel Talk

Live recording from NZISF 2023

Antimicrobial medicines are vital tools for treating a number of diseases. But it's no secret that some types of bacteria and other microbes that cause disease are developing resistance to these tools. What is being done to combat antimicrobial resistance and what new tools are being developed? Experts in the field will talk about the current state of antimicrobial resistance in Aotearoa New Zealand and the wider Pacific and discuss what the future of this important research may hold.

Panel:
Prof Greg Cook - University of Otago Department of Microbiology & Immunology
Sakiusa Baleivanualala - University of Otago Department of Microbiology & Immunology
Juliet Elvy - Southern Community Laboratories

This talk was recorded on 8 July 2023 as part of the New Zealand International Science Festival.
