Filter by:The aim of this study is to prospectively investigate the additional diagnostic value of broad range PCR targeting the 16 ribosomal DNA in diagnosis and management of patients with infective endocarditis who are candidate for surgicaltherapy;
This clinical trial is studying if bacteria found in a participant's bloodstream after brushing their teeth can be prevented with a dental cleaning and more education on how to best brush and care for their teeth. One group of participants will have a dental cleaning and oral health instructions and the other group of participants will not. Researchers will compare the blood test results from the two groups to see if the education made a difference in preventing bacteria and how long it stays in the bloodstream.
A prospective, interventional, single-group, single centre study to evaluate the feasibility of early aerobic exercise training in patients following heart valve surgery for infective endocarditis.
1. To detect in more detail the incidence of infective endocarditis in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) on hemodialysis. 2. To compare the relationship between different forms of haemodialysis access type and the related incidence of infective endocarditis. 3. To determine individual risk factors, including type of vascular haemodialysis access, previous valve lesion and immunocompromised patients.
Our prospective observational study focuses on the rapid detection of etiologic agents of pyogenic spondylodiscitis and infective endocarditis using the T2 Bacteria Panel (T2Biosystems). This diagnostic method combines polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and T2 magnetic resonance for detection of bacterial DNA from whole blood samples. It detects six pathogens known by the acronym ESKAPE (E. coli, S. aureus, K. pneumoniae, A. baumannii, P. aeruginosa, and E. faecium). In recent years, similar studies using the Bacteria Panel and Candida Panel have been performed in patients with bloodstream infections, leaving us with optimistic results.The aim of this study is to verify whether T2B can identify the etiologic agents of localized infections, specifically spondylodiscitis and endocarditis, with better sensitivity and specificity and shorter time to result compared to conventional diagnostics from blood culture. Rapid detection of pathogen may reduce time to targeted pathogen-specific antibiotic therapy and subsequently improve outcomes, shorten the treatment and contribute to slowing the development of antibiotic resistance.
Infective endocarditis (IE) continues to cause serious morbidity and mortality. To reduce its incidence, antibiotic prophylaxis has been recommended before invasive dental procedures in patients with at risk predispositions. Several studies have examined the effect of antibiotic prophylaxis on the incidence of IE and have brought conflicting results. The investigators aim to evaluate the effectiveness of antibiotic prophylaxis before invasive dental procedures to prevent oral streptococcal infective endocarditis in patients with prosthetic heart valves and/or history of IE, using a registry-based, cluster-randomized, controlled trial. In secondary objectives, the investigators aim to analyze changes in dentists' practices.
This is a prospective, multicentric, european registry of patients with infective endocarditis undergoing cardiac surgery. Patient demographics, clinical data and laboratory values will be collected, as well as treatment outcomes at day 30, day 90 and 1-5 years after the intervention.
Staphylococcus aureus is a frequent cause of primary or secondary bacteremia. It is also responsible for many cases of infective endocarditis, for which the therapeutic management is specific. The frequency of infective endocarditis among Staphylococcus aureus bacteremias varies between 2.7% and 23.4%. Many factors associated with the risk of developing endocarditis in patients with S. aureus bacteremia have been described. Two parameters of potential interest remain excluded from this work: blood culture growth time, a marker of bacterial inoculum, and the presence of bacteriuria, which is common during bacteremia. The objective of this study is to evaluate the interest of these two parameters in the prediction of the presence of endocarditis during S. aureus bacteremia. Investigators will conduct a retrospective study including all patients managed for Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia and in whom a urine culture was performed. The primary objective is to describe the factors associated with the occurrence of endocarditis in patients managed for S. aureus bacteremia and who received a urine cytobacteriological examination (UCE). The secondary objectives are: to evaluate the factors associated with the occurrence of S. aureus bacteriuria in patients with S. aureus bacteremia and to evaluate the risk factors for mortality in patients managed for S. aureus bacteremia.
Retrospective, regional, multicenter study (including the Annecy-Genevois Hospital Center, the Chambéry Métropole Savoie Hospital Center, and the Grenoble University Hospital Center), comparing a cohort of patients treated with Cefazolin with a cohort of patients treated with Penicillin M
Follow-up of patients undergoing cardiac valve replacements with prosthetic valve after injection of sewing ring of prosthetic valve with aminoglycoside for prevention of infective endocarditis.
