Co Add Community for Open Antimicrobial Drug Discovery

COADD, located in St. Lucia, Queensland, is a not-for-profit initiative associated with The University of Queensland that focuses on combating drug-resistant infections through antimicrobial drug discovery. Their mission is to provide free screening of compounds for antimicrobial activity, aiming to support researchers globally in finding new and diverse antibiotics.

By offering free primary screening against key pathogens, including five bacteria and two fungi, COADD invites chemists to submit compounds that may not have been originally designed as antibiotics. The initiative addresses the urgent need for new treatments in light of the rising threat of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, striving to avoid a return to the pre-antibiotic era where simple infections could be fatal.
