Funded Activity 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.
