Multi-year antimicrobial-resistance trends in urine Escherichia coli isolates from both community-based and hospital-based laboratories of an Australian local health district.

Objectives: Efforts to monitor and combat antimicrobial resistance (AMR) are typically focused on the hospital-based laboratory setting. The aim of this study was to longitudinally examine and compare trends in AMR among urine Escherichia coli isolates from a private community-based laboratory and a public hospital-based laboratory in an Australian local health district.

Methods: A total of 108 262 urine E.

Identifying Rewards Over Difficulties Buffers the Impact of Time in COVID-19 Lockdown for Parents in Australia.

Objective: Physical isolation measures, known as lockdown or shelter-in-place, experienced during coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have the potential to cause psychological distress. This study was conducted to examine parents' perceived stress and whether reports of rewards and challenges during lockdown impact stress.

Methods: Data were collected using a cross-sectional online survey in New South Wales, Australia, across the 4-week lockdown.

The impact of diffusion and stirring on the dynamics of interacting populations.

We investigate the combined effects of diffusion and stirring on the dynamics of interacting populations which have spatial structure. Specifically we consider the marine phytoplankton and zooplankton populations, and model them as an excitable medium. The results are applicable to other biological and chemical systems.
