All isolates were ceftriaxone sensitive. These data support ceftriaxone rather than conventional chloramphenicol for all PNG children with suspected ABM.]]> Wed 07 Apr 2021 14:01:08 AEST ]]> Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in Papua New Guinea : A community nasal colonization prevalence study http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:12933 Wed 07 Apr 2021 14:01:08 AEST ]]> Predictors of acute bacterial meningitis in children from a malaria-endemic area of Papua New Guinea http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:12934 Wed 07 Apr 2021 14:01:08 AEST ]]> Bloodstream infections caused by resistant bacteria in surgical patients admitted to Modilon Hospital, Madang http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:12540 48 hours post-admission and thus considered nosocomially acquired. These data suggest two distinct patterns of bacterial infection in PNG surgical inpatients that have implications for national antibiotic prescription guidelines.]]> Wed 05 May 2021 11:39:22 AEST ]]> Phylodynamic signatures in the emergence of community-associated MRSA http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:17641 1) coincided with spread of progenitor methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) in remote northern Australian populations, dissemination of the ST93-MRSA-IV genotype into population centers on the Australian East Coast, and subsequent importation into the highlands of Papua New Guinea and Far North Queensland. Applying the same phylodynamic methods to existing lineage datasets, we identified common signatures of epidemic growth in the emergence and epidemiological trajectory of community-associated S. aureus lineages from America, Asia, Australasia, and Europe. Surges in Re were observed at the divergence of antibiotic-resistant strains, coinciding with their establishment in regional population centers. Epidemic growth was also observed among drug-resistant MSSA clades in Africa and northern Australia. Our data suggest that the emergence of community-associated MRSA in the late 20th century was driven by a combination of antibiotic-resistant genotypes and host epidemiology, leading to abrupt changes in lineage-wide transmission dynamics and sustained transmission in regional population centers.
