Indigenous Australians suffer from kidney disease at a much higher rate than non-Indigenous Australians and are far more likely to require dialysis treatment. Infections with the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus (Golden Staph) further reduce the quality of life for these patients, causing serious disease and even death. We aim to identify exactly where these Golden Staph infections are coming from so that we can design targeted procedures to reduce the chance of infections occurring.

土著澳大利亚人患肾病的比率比非土著澳大利亚人高得多，而且更有可能需要透析治疗。金黄色葡萄球菌（金黄色葡萄球菌）的感染进一步降低了这些患者的生活质量，导致严重的疾病甚至死亡。我们的目标是确定这些金黄色葡萄球菌感染的确切来源，以便我们可以设计有针对性的程序，以减少感染发生的机会。
