Recommendation 32

Taking advantage of scientific research and developments will be very important in addressing the threat of AMR. Research and development can improve tools such as diagnostics to improve prescribing of antimicrobials, as well as producing new antimicrobials and vaccines.82 It can also promote innovative forms of mitigating and treating AMR, such as through the use of artificial intelligence—which may be a more cost-effective approach, according to Dr Partridge—or genomic sequencing.83
