Abstract

The Antimicrobial Special Interest Group (ASIG) is one of the largest special interest groups within the ASM. In 2012 there were over 923 ASIG members. In 2013 there were over 721 members listed under ASIG. Some of our members have retired but still keep in touch. In 2012–13 ASM ASIG members were actively involved with local and national ASM Branch meetings in various states, usually in the form of communication and newsletters. The committee actively communicates via emails and the website www.asig.org.au on emerging issues, methodology on susceptibility testing, standards on antimicrobials and antimicrobial resistance.
