Optimising interventions for Staphylococcus aureus and skin infections

葡萄球菌和链球菌感染是疾病和死亡的主要原因，在土著澳大利亚人中尤其如此。这些疾病包括导致慢性肾脏和心脏病的侵袭性血液感染和皮肤感染。我将进行临床试验，使用新的试验方法优化葡萄球菌血流感染的管理，并使用基因组学和数学模型来了解和减轻土著社区皮肤感染的负担。

Staphylococcal and streptococcal infections are major causes of illness and death, particularly in Indigenous Australians. These include invasive bloodstream infections and skin infections that lead to chronic kidney and heart disease. I will conduct clinical trials to optimise the management of staphylococcal bloodstream infections using novel trial methods, and use genomics and mathematical modelling to understand and reduce the burden of skin infections in Indigenous communities.
