Abstract

Rising rates of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the major threats to the delivery of effective healthcare worldwide. Technology to manage AMR, and its associated risks, is rapidly evolving in Australia and internationally. In this paper we determine how Australia is positioned in the AMR-domain, compared with its international peers, when accounted for scientific, business and patent activity in the domain. The paper identifies global leaders in the field and focuses on potential Australian competitive advantage. To do this, an analysis of AMR-related publications and patents was undertaken using revealed technology advantage (RTA) index and bibliometric analysis. Analysis showed that the leading AMR-related keywords among Australian publications were antimicrobial and antibiotic resistance, followed by antimicrobial stewardship and more recently – multidrug resistance. Network analysis demonstrated that key terms formed four thematic clusters which appeared similarly structured and featured similar collection of terms for the Australian and the UK publications. A closer look at the publications related to new and emerging AMR technologies (e.g. omics technology, mRNA vaccines and autogenous vaccines) demonstrated that these topics are not yet established in the research literature and have limited representation of Australian authors.
