The ACSQHC has championed hand hygiene initiatives, national infection control standards and mandatory antimicrobial stewardship programs in all Australian hospitals. New technologies have enabled development of novel rapid diagnostics and candidate vaccines which provide enormous hope for future epidemics.	./cache/cord-300227-4zalzk21.txt	./txt/cord-300227-4zalzk21.txt
