Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen. Here, we report the isolation of four bacteriophages from wastewater. All four bacteriophages belong to the Myoviridae family.
A co-designed and culturally secure intervention to improve medical follow-up for Aboriginal children hospitalised with acute chest infections resulted in higher follow-up rates and improved longer-term lung health outcomes for children.
A large contingent of researchers from the Wal-yan Respiratory Research Centre are heading to Spain in September to participate in the European Respiratory Society (ERS) International Congress – the largest respiratory meeting in the world.
The MAVRIC (Mechanisms of Acute Viral Respiratory Infection in Children) study recently celebrated the recruitment of the 1000th participant to the study, eight-year-old Sullivan Strahan.
Analysis of worldwide research shows that despite advances in neonatal care, preterm babies have lower lung function throughout their life.
Two outstanding researchers from the Wal-yan Respiratory Research Centre have been awarded Vertex Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Mentored Innovation Research Awards.

Given the rise of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections, alternative treatments are needed. Anti-pseudomonal phage therapy shows promise, but its clinical application is limited due to the development of resistance and a lack of biofilm penetration.
The long-term cardiopulmonary outcomes following preterm birth during the surfactant era remain unclear. Respiratory symptoms, particularly exertional symptoms, are common in preterm children. Therefore, cardiopulmonary exercise testing may provide insights into the pathophysiology driving exertional respiratory symptoms in those born preterm. This review aims to outline the current knowledge of cardiopulmonary exercise testing in the assessment of children born preterm in the surfactant era.
