Building Australia’s capability in reducing infections and drug-resistant bacteria.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global crisis with significant health, environmental, and socio-economic impacts, and requires a coordinated approach across different sectors. Recognising this, CEAStAR adopts a ‘One Health’ approach in acknowledgement of the interconnections between humans, plants, animals, and our shared environments. The diversity of companies we are partnered with showcases the multitude of ways we can address antimicrobial resistance to complement and reinforce efforts in human healthcare.

CEAStAR will investigate novel new antimicrobial therapies, explore ways to improve livestock health and hygiene without the use of antibiotics, and identify, remove and/or treat bacterial contamination in water environments.
