Exploration of the Nasal Microbiome in Aboriginal Populations Afflicted with Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
FY 2009-10
Summary
Little is known about different types of bacteria that can be found in the nose and how the types of bacteria differ from person to person. Many bacteria commonly found in the nose are not harmful, but there are many that can grow within or colonize the nose and cause disease. One particular antibiotic resistant bacterium, called MRSA, is causing many infections, especially in Aboriginal populations. In this study will use state-of-the-art techniques to study the bacteria in the nose and determine what happens when a disease causing bacterium, such as MRSA,is present. In general we hope to learn more about bacteria found in the nose and determine if any non-harmful bacteria could be protective against disease causing bacteria such as MRSA.

Abstract
Little is known about different types of bacteria that can be found in the nose and how the types of bacteria differ from person to person.

One particular antibiotic resistant bacterium, called MRSA, is causing many infections, especially in Aboriginal populations. In this study will use state-of-the-art techniques to study the bacteria in the nose and determine what happens when a disease causing bacterium, such as MRSA,is present. In general we hope to learn more about bacteria found in the nose and determine if any non-harmful bacteria could be protective against disease causing bacteria such as MRSA.
