Summary
Campylobacter is a leading but less well recognised cause of gastroenteritis in Australia. This research seeks to better quantify and describe serious health outcomes resulting from Campylobacter infections by examining hospitalisations (including risk factors for admission) and estimating rates of death and long-term health problems following infection. The project will also examine the role GPs play in managing cases, particularly their use of antibiotics.

Funding Amount

Summary
Gonorrhoea is a common sexually transmitted infection (STI) among gay men, and the throat is the commonest site of infection. There is early data to suggest Listerine mouthwash can be used to prevent gonorrhoea. Our study will examine whether men use Listerine every day will reduce the risk of gonorrhoea in the throat compared those who use another mouthwash product which does not have an effect on gonorrhoea.
