Filter by:For more than fifty years, vancomycin has been cited as a nephrotoxic agent. Reports of vancomycin induced kidney injury (a.k.a vancomycin induced nephrotoxicity or VIN), have waxed and waned throughout the years for various reasons. Recently, VIN has reemerged as a clinical concern. This may be due to various reasons, including new dosing recommendations as well as an increased prevalence of risk factors associated with vancomycin induced nephrotoxicity. This study aims to evaluate a strategy which attempts to reduce kidney damage from vancomycin use.
The intent of this study is to describe the safety and efficacy of daptomycin versus standard of care (SOC) in pediatric participants aged 1-17 years with bacteremia caused by Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus).
To compare the time to pathogen eradication, and the relationship to the time to clinical improvement, between ceftaroline and case-matched vancomycin treated controls in the treatment of adults with serious infections caused by Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).
This is a study of safety and efficacy of ceftaroline fosamil in Subjects with Staphylococcus aureus Bacteremia or with Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Bacteremia persisting after at least 72 hours of vancomycin and/or daptomycin treatment.
The aim of the trial was to assess whether use of the TEGO connector was able to reduce the incidence of a composite endpoint of TCC-related dysfunction (TCC-D)or TCC-related bacteremia (TCC-B) in chronic hemodialysis (HD) patients carrying the TEGO® connector vs controls receiving trisodium citrate 46.7%.
When a doctor performs Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography "ERCP" (Endoscopy to examine the bile duct) a flexible tube is inserted into the mouth and into the stomach. The tube passes beyond the stomach and into an opening in the liver called the bile duct. Another small flexible endoscope is inserted inside the ERCP scope to directly visualize the bile duct to ensure that there are no cancers or stones in the bile duct and occasionally to take a sample from the bile duct. The purpose of our study is to examine wither performing this procedure can transmit bacteria from the bile duct to the main blood stream.
The study investigates the effect of supra- and subgingival rinsing of 10% PVP prior to ultrasonic debridement in patients with periodontitis (as compared to rinsing with water) in terms of post treatment bacteraemia. Study design: Randomized split-mouth (cross-over) study on 20 generally healthy subjects.
In vitro identification of S. aureus,methicillin-sensitive S. aureus (MSSA) and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA)from positive blood culture using MicroPhage's bacteriophage-based diagnostic platform.
The study aims to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of the 10-valent and 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccines when administered in an accelerated schedule in Papua New Guinean children, who experience early dense upper respiratory tract colonisation with a broad range of pneumococcal serotypes, and to compare antibody titres following a booster dose of polysaccharide vaccine at 9 months with those children who received no booster at the same age.
The antibiotic lock technique (ALT) is used as local treatment for Catheter-Related Bacteremia (CRB). It consists in the administration of a concentrated antimicrobial solution with a calculated volume to fill the lumen of the catheter. The lock solution is indwelled within the catheter for a defined period of hours or days before been removed. Currently, the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) Guidelines for treatment and management of CRB, recommends to change the antibiotic solution every 24 hours. The investigators expect to determine the stability of the concentration of vancomycin, teicoplanin, linezolid, daptomycin and tigecycline used in lock solutions, and thus to assay the optimal timeframe that the concentration of antibiotic used in lock solution keeps its in vivo antimicrobial activity. Study Hypothesis: An antibiotic lock solution maintains in vivo concentration and antimicrobial activity for at least 10 days after its infusion inside a subcutaneous port catheter.
