Full Description:: Antibiotic resistance is a growing concern that threatens to return society to a pre-antibiotic era. The panel represents some of the leading clinician researchers and academic in Queensland who are working hard to rapidly diagnose superbugs and ensure that the right antibiotics are used to treat the right bacteria.

This Global Leadership Series will touch on pandemics (Ebola) and other infectious diseases within the context of antibiotic resistant superbugs. UQ has received significant support to further research in this area through NHMRC, Wellcome Trust, and a variety of foundations and corporations.
