Retrospective single-center cohort study to evaluate the incidence of colonization by multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO) in mechanically ventilated patients admitted to a large intensive care unit (ICU) for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection during the second wave of COVID-19 pandemic (October 2020-May 2021) in Lombardy, Italy. As secondary outcomes, the study evaluates the overall incidence of infections during the ICU stay and assesses the risk factors associated to bacterial superinfection and MDRO colonization.
Antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD) is the most common gastrointestinal complication of antibiotic use, with potentially serious clinical impact. The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of Saccharomyces boulardii in the prevention of AAD in adult patients with lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) treated in a hospital. A multicenter, randomized, parallel-group, double-blind, placebo-controlled study is conducted whereby adults who are hospitalized due to LRTI and treated with intravenous antibiotics and randomized to capsules containing S. boulardii or indistinguishable placebo. The outcome measures were: relevant clinical features, gastrointestinal symptoms, and adverse events.
Febrile infants under 3 months of age represent a high risk group for invasive bacterial infection (IBI) and UTI with approximately 10-20% having bacteremia, meningitis or urinary tract infection. The assessment of febrile infants is challenging, and current National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidance advocates a cautious approach with the majority of infants requiring a septic screen, parenteral broad-spectrum antibiotics, and admission to hospital. Internationally there is significant variation in the approach to febrile infants with European and USA guidance advocating a tailored approach based on clinical features and biomarker testing. None of the available clinical decision aids (CDA) have been validated in a UK and Irish cohort. The main objectives of the FIDO study are to report performance accuracy of CDA in a UK (United Kingdom) and Irish population, and describe the aetiology of SBI in young infants. The FIDO study is a prospective observational cohort study of infants under 90 days of age with a measured fever greater than 38 Centrigrade within 24 hours of presentation. The study will run for approximately 12 months and recruit a minimum of 1000 participants.Symptoms, clinical features and laboratory results will be recorded on an electronic case report form (CRF) by the attending clinician.
This study is a first-in-human, Phase 1, randomized, double- blind, four-part, dose-escalation study to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of single (Part 1) and repeat (Part 2) escalating intravenous doses of KSP-1007. Repeated escalating doses of KSP-1007 will be co-administered with meropenem (Part 3) and single, ascending doses of KSP-1007 will be administered alone in healthy Japanese subjects (Part 4)
Irrational use of antibiotics is a one of the main health system problems,it leads to antibiotic resistance,increasing antibiotics side effects and the total cost. This study is a medication use evaluation study aims to evaluate intravenous clindamycin prescribing practice in critical care units in Alexandria Main University Hospital.
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate if type of nail polish (gel polish or regular polish) has an effect on the number of bacterial colonies on finger nails after surgical scrubbing. Participants: The potential participants are healthcare providers with patient interaction. Exclusion criteria include evidence of active dermatitis or other skin abnormalities, or allergy to chlorhexidine. Intervention: Participants will have gel nail polish applied to one finger of their dominant hand, and regular polish applied to another finger of their dominant hand. Bacterial swabs will be collected from these two fingers, as well as the from the adjacent finger with no nail polish. Specimen collection will occur both before and after scrubbing with surgical soap. Bacterial counts will be compared between the three groups to determine the association between the presence of nail polish and nail polish type on bacterial counts after surgical scrubbing. Specimen collection will not take place during scrubbing for actual patient care.
The main aim of the study was to identify the various pathogens associated with surgical site infections and their antibiotic susceptibility in a governmental hospital in northern Jordan.
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of ultrasonic irrigation in improving root canal disinfection after chemomechanical procedures.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of single and multiple intravenous doses of BWC0977 when administered to healthy adult volunteers.
