Molecular Detection of Scabies by PCR Using a Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) Approach

In recent years, the interest in molecular diagnostic methods for the detection of many pathogens has grown substantially.

Moorditj Marp (strong skin) – SHARE

SHARE brings Aboriginal Health Practitioner (AHP)-led dermatology care into Perth Children's Hospital (PCH) for Aboriginal children and young people.

Moorditj Marp (Strong Skin) Evaluation and development of culturally relevant healthy skin storybooks

Co-designed and in collaboration with community members, the impacts of this project will directly benefit families by building awareness, empowering decision-making, and improving confidence around the recognition and management of skin conditions for Aboriginal children.

Planning and clinical role of acute medical home care services for COVID-19: consensus position statement by the Hospital-in-the-Home Society Australasia

During a pandemic when hospitals are stretched and patients need isolation, the role of hospital-in-the-home (HITH) providing acute medical care at home has never been more relevant. We aimed to define and address the challenges to acute home care services posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Antimicrobial stewardship in remote primary healthcare across northern Australia

The high burden of infectious disease and associated antimicrobial use likely contribute to the emergence of antimicrobial resistance in remote Australian Aboriginal communities. We aimed to develop and apply context-specific tools to audit antimicrobial use in the remote primary healthcare setting.

Predicting the causative pathogen among children with osteomyelitis using Bayesian networks – improving antibiotic selection in clinical practice

We have demonstrated the potential use of Bayesian Networks in improving antibiotic selection for children with osteomyelitis

Complicated skin and soft tissue infections in remote indigenous communities

The burden and consequences of skin infections for remote living indigenous people are high

Nasal delivery of a commensal Pasteurellaceae species inhibits nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae colonisation and delays onset of otitis media in mice

We have demonstrated that a single dose of a closely related commensal can delay onset of NTHi otitis media in vivo

Genetic Manipulation of Group A Streptococcus-Gene Deletion by Allelic Replacement
