Filter by:Background Prospective review and feedback (PRF) of antibiotic prescriptions is a labor-intensive core strategy of antimicrobial stewardship (AMS). The investigators hypothesized that a computerized decision support system (CDSS) providing recommendations for antibiotics, investigations and referrals would reduce the requirement for PRF without causing harm. Methods A parallel-group, 1:1 block-cluster randomized, cross-over study was conducted in 32 medical and surgical wards from March to August 2017. The intervention arm comprised voluntary use of CDSS at first prescription of piperacillin-tazobactam or a carbapenem, while the control arm was compulsory CDSS. PRF was continued for both arms. Primary outcome was 30-day mortality.
The aim of this study is to assess patient's quality of life 5 to 10 years after a severe bacterial infection with hospitalization in a intensive unit care. The population is derived from the DIABACT III study. The investigators will include every patient still alive. To evaluate our question, patients and their parents will answer quality of life questionnaires. The investigators will also have telephone interviews with the parents to know somatic and psychological effects on their child. The investigators will see if quality of life and sequelae differ depending on various studied factors.
The aim of this study is to determine the relative abundances of the different bacterial phyla and families in the microbiota present on the surface of PEEK implant-supported provisional abutments compared to titanium implant-supported provisional abutments, as well as the effect of both materials on the presence of antibiotics resistance genes.
Bacteremia is defined as pathogenic bacteria presence in blood as evidenced by positive blood cultures. These bacteremia have significant consequences in terms of morbidity and mortality (ref. 1,2,3). They can lead to a state of septic shock that is life-threatening for the patient and must be treated as a matter of urgency. Any delay in treatment is detrimental to the patient. Management is based on prescription of probabilistic antibiotic therapy as soon as bacteremia is suspected. At the Groupe Hospitalier Paris Saint Joseph (GHPSJ), as soon as a blood culture is known to be positive, the Mobile Clinical Microbiology Unit (UMMC) is notified in real time. The UMMC infectiologist, in consultation with the microbiologist, evaluates microbiological data and compares them with clinical data in order to prescribe probabilistic antibiotic therapy in the patient's bed. The possible adaptation of antibiotic treatment then depends on the results of antibiotic susceptibility test. Early adaptation of antibiotic treatment to antibiotic susceptibility data, to reassess ineffective treatment or to reduce antibiotic therapy spectrum, significantly improves patient prognosis: it is therefore important that the laboratory makes antibiotic susceptibility test results available to the clinician as early as possible.
Therapeutic drug monitoring of antiinfectives in intensive care patients is an usual research topic of the last years. Based on research result, which have shown subtherapeutic plasma concentrations of antibiotics, a routines therapeutic drug monitoring for β-lactam-antibiotics was implemented in January 2018 at Clinic for Anesthesiology at University Hospital, LMU Munich, Germany. This study is an prospective evaluation of these TDM-program.
This is a Phase I, open-label, non-randomized, single center study in 48 healthy adult male and female subjects, aged 18 to 45 years. This study is aimed to investigate the safety and pharmacokinetics of ceftazidime-avibactam (AVYCAZ) combined with aztreonam (ATM), AVYCAZ alone, and ATM alone. The study will have 6 arms, arms 1-4 are the single drug administration treatment groups and will include AVYCAZ per label dosing, AVYCAZ as a continuous infusion (CI), ATM per label dosing, and ATM as a CI. Arms 5 and 6 are the two AVYCAZ and ATM combination drug administration treatment groups. The duration of subject participation will be up to 44 days, and the total length of the study will be 15 months. The primary objective of this study is to describe the safety of two dosing regimens of AVYCAZ combined with ATM relative to AVYCAZ alone, and ATM alone in healthy adult subjects.
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of imipenem/cilastatin/relebactam (IMI/REL) in participants from birth to less than 18 years of age with confirmed or suspected gram-negative bacterial infection. Participants are expected to require hospitalization through completion of intravenous (IV) study intervention, and have at least one of the following primary infection types: hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia (HABP) or ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (VABP); complicated intra-abdominal infection (cIAI); or complicated urinary tract infection (cUTI). Participants will be randomized in a 3:1 ratio to receive IMI/REL or active control. This study will also evaluate the efficacy of IMI/REL by assessing all-cause mortality at Day 28 post-randomization, as well as clinical and microbiological response to treatment. It will also evaluate the pharmacokinetics of IMI/REL.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic characteristics and efficacy of TNP-2092 in adults with ABSSSI suspected or confirmed to be caused by gram-positive pathogens.
QPX2015 (beta-lactam antibiotic) is being studied at higher than approved doses to combine with a new beta-lactamase inhibitor to treat bacterial infections, including those due to multi-drug resistant bacteria.
A trial to assess cumulative incidence of skin and soft tissue infections (SSTI) in infants (by three months of age) born to mothers receiving a single-dose of 2 grams of oral azithromycin during labour (or immediately prior to delivery in the case of caesarean section), compared to infants whose mothers received placebo.
