A summary of the literature regarding the use of adjunctive protein synthesis inhibitors for toxin suppression in the setting of S. aureus infections is presented
Our findings are crucial in demonstrating that the Northern Territory STS clone is not STX resistant
There is a wide spectrum of disease severity in paediatric Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia
Scabies and impetigo are common in Timor-Leste, with very high prevalence of scabies in the rural district of Ermera
Scabies and impetigo infections are under-recognised and hence under-treated by clinicians
The evidence derived from the review will be used to inform the development of guidelines for the management of skin infections in resource-limited settings
Treatment success for scabies co-infection was lower than for impetigo overall, with a higher success seen in the co-trimoxazole group than benzylpenicillin
We report osteomyelitis incidence in indigenous children of northern Australia is amongst the highest reported in the world
Immediate plating of impetigo swabs is the gold standard for bacterial recovery but is rarely feasible in remote regions.
Remote-living Aboriginal children in Australia contend with higher rates of skin infections than non-Indigenous children. This work was embedded within a stepped-wedge, cluster randomised controlled trial aiming to halve the rate of skin infections in remote Kimberley communities. It outlines and reflects upon the co-development of a health promotion resource in partnership with the East Kimberley community of Warmun, whilst understanding community perceptions of its impact.
