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.

Describe the epidemiology of Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia in children and adolescents younger than 18 years from Australia and New Zealand

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.

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

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

These data support that children are not just 'little adults' in the AMR era, and analyses by age group are important to detect differences in antibiotic susceptibility

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

An optimized, rapid method for creating markerless isogenic mutations that combines Gibson assembly cloning with a new temperature-sensitive plasmid, pLZts

Significant variation in practice, particularly for patients with a severe disease phenotype and antibiotic-resistant profile

We have quantified the relative influence of perinatal risk factors associated with skin infection hospitalisations in WA children
