Microbial genomics is used to analyse the genome of pathogens. This information can help us understand how it infects humans and how it can evade antimicrobial treatment. We can use the information in public health situations to help manage current and emerging outbreaks and threats of communicable diseases in Australia.
The framework outlines 5 strategic priorities and identifies directions for change, opportunities for action and areas that need more work.
