Background

Dr Patrick Harris is an Infectious Disease Physician, Medical Microbiologist and NHMRC Emerging Leader (EL2) Fellow at The University of Queensland Centre for Clinical Research (UQCCR).

Dr. Harris obtained a BSc in Psychology and Anthropology from Durham University, prior to acquiring his medical degree from University College London Medical School. Following postgraduate training in the UK, he worked as a clinical lecturer at the College of Medicine in Malawi, before completing specialist training in infectious diseases and microbiology in Australia. For his final year of training he was a Senior Visiting Fellow in Infectious Disease at the National University Hospital in Singapore. He completed his PhD in 2018 under the supervision of Prof. David Paterson, and now is a Group Leader at UQCCR, with a research focus on the diagnosis and clinical management of infections caused by multi-drug resistant bacteria

Qualifications

  • Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery and Medical Science, University of London
  • Doctor of Philosophy, The University of Queensland

Research interests

  • Clinical trials

    Assessing the clinical impact of novel antibiotic treatment strategies for bloodstream infections

  • Antibiotic resistance

    Resistance in gram-negative pathogens such as E. coli, Klebsiella and Enterobacter

  • Clinical application of genomics

    Use of whole genome sequencing in clinical microbiology

Research impacts

He has published more than 190 peer-reviewed articles, many as first or senior author, including JAMA, the Lancet, Lancet Infectious Diseases and Clinical Infectious Diseases. He was a lead investigator for the MERINO trial: an international multicentre study to compare carbapenem-sparing treatment options for ESBL and AmpC-producing species. This has been the first large RCT to specifically address this question, using a protocol developed and endorsed by the Australasian Society for Infectious Diseases Clinical Research Network (ASID-CRN). https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02176122. This was followed by the MERINO-2 trial: a randomised controlled trial of meropenem versus piperacillin-tazobactam for treatment of bloodstream infections due to AmpC-producing Enterobacter, Citrobacter, Serratia, Providencia and Morganella: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02437045. His other main research interest includes the application of whole genome sequencing to clinical microbiology. He was the clinical lead for the Queensland Genomics Clinical Demonstration Project: Whole genome sequencing to track, treat and prevent nosocomial infections. This project has successfuly integrated a genomics workflow within Queensland health, to support outbreak response and surveillance of hospital acqured multi-drug resistant infections: Hospital acquired infections – Queensland Genomics
