Many Indigenous children in the Northern Territory suffer from a chronic lung condition called bronchiectasis. This disease causes a lot of illness and can lead to early death in adulthood. Little is known about how the disease starts and how it can be prevented, but many children are being treated with the antibiotic azithromycin. My project aims to find out which bacteria are associated with bronchiectasis, how azithromycin affects the bacteria, and whether it leads to antibiotic resistance.

北领地的许多土著儿童患有一种称为支气管扩张症的慢性肺部疾病。这种疾病会导致许多疾病，并可能导致成年后过早死亡。关于这种疾病是如何开始的，以及如何预防，人们知之甚少，但许多儿童正在接受抗生素阿奇霉素的治疗。我的项目旨在找出哪些细菌与支气管扩张有关，阿奇霉素如何影响细菌，以及它是否导致抗生素耐药性。
