Abstract
This issue of Microbiology Australia is devoted to Microbes that cause disease particularly in our Indigenous populations. We have for example the worldwide highest rates of Rheumatic Fever and Heart Disease in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. These follow streptococcal infections mostly as a result of skin damage through primary infections with pathogens such as parasitic scabies mites.
