This project addresses the growing need for new antimicrobial agents by utilising the traditional medicinal floral knowledge of indigenous communities of Australia and Papua New Guinea. Discoveries from the biological and chemical investigations of traditional medicines used by these communities for treatment of microbial infections will indicate their potential to be used as clinical agents. Benefit sharing and capability building opportunities for the communities involved will also be key outcomes.

该项目通过利用澳大利亚和巴布亚新几内亚土著社区的传统药用花卉知识来解决对新抗菌剂日益增长的需求。对这些社区用于治疗微生物感染的传统药物进行生物和化学调查后发现的结果将表明，这些药物有潜力被用作临床药物。参与社区的利益分享和能力建设机会也将是关键成果。
