Pneumonia is common in Australia and often requires hospital admission. The germs that cause pneumonia in tropical Australia are less well known than southern Australia and likely to be different. This study will identify which germs cause pneumonia in people in tropical Australia and will identify which people become more unwell. I aim to identify the best antibiotics to use, the differences between children and adults, Indigenous and non-Indigenous people and people living in different areas.

肺炎在澳大利亚很常见，通常需要住院治疗。在澳大利亚热带地区引起肺炎的细菌不如澳大利亚南部那么为人所知，而且可能有所不同。这项研究将确定哪些细菌会导致澳大利亚热带地区的人们患上肺炎，并确定哪些人会变得更加不适。我的目标是确定最好的抗生素使用，儿童和成人之间的差异，土著和非土著人民和生活在不同地区的人。
