This project will focus on two important bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus (Golden Staph), and Enterococcus faecium, both causes of serious infections in hospital and community patients in Australia. Using new technologies, including whole genome sequencing, this project will lead to significant advances in understanding how these bacteria evolve, spread and cause disease. This will lead to new strategies for prevention and management of infections caused by these important bacteria.

该项目将重点关注两种重要的细菌，金黄色葡萄球菌（金黄色葡萄球菌）和屎肠球菌，这两种细菌都是澳大利亚医院和社区患者严重感染的原因。利用包括全基因组测序在内的新技术，该项目将在了解这些细菌如何进化、传播和引起疾病方面取得重大进展。这将导致预防和管理这些重要细菌引起的感染的新策略。
