Ruth Hall’s research led to an understanding of how bacteria become resistant to many antibiotics simultaneously, as well as a recognition of the risks posed by the increased use of antibiotics in medicine and agriculture. In 2014, Ruth Hall was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia for service to science in the field of microbiology."
