Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the immunogenicity and safety of LBVH0101 (Haemophilus influenzae type b tetanus toxoid conjugate vaccine) to that of Hiberix™ at vaccination in healthy infants at their 2, 4, and 6 months of age.
To compare conventional polyglactin 910 sutures with triclosan-coated polyglactin 910 antimicrobial sutures for the reduction of surgical site infections and any associated health and economic benefits.
This is a research study designed to look at the pharmacokinetics (distribution, breakdown, and removal) and tolerability of a single dose of daptomycin in patients aged 3 months to 24 months who have proven or suspected infections that are caused by a specific group of bacteria (called Gram-positive bacteria)or perioperative subjects that are receiving prophylactic antibiotics .
This study is a first-in-human (Phase 1) study using three dose levels of an investigational vaccine directed against Staphylococcus aureus (SA3Ag). This study is primarily designed to assess how safe and well tolerated SA3Ag is, but will also describe the immune response over 12 months elicited by SA3Ag. Additionally, this study will assess the effect of SA3Ag vaccine on the number of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria that naturally occur on the skin and within the nose and throat.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the 2 gram single dose of metronidazole is as effective as the 7 day 500 mg BID dose for treatment of Trichomonas vaginalis (TV) among HIV-infected women.
The investigators hypothesise that cementless one-stage exchange revision surgery can be performed in patients with chronically infected hip replacement with substantial benefits for the patients, in terms of fast rehabilitation, low re-revision rates and good long term results.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic profile of an antibacterial compound for treatment of hospital acquired Gram negative infection.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of ertapenem sodium (Invanz) in treatment of complicated urinary tract infections with respect to the proportion of patients with a favorable microbiological response at 5-9 days post therapy.
The Purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of 5 months catechin consumption on the prevention of influenza infection.
Hypothesis: Plastic wound retractors reduce passage of bacteria from the abdomen to the surgical incision site in abdominal surgery Currently, plastic wound retractors are used in abdominal surgery to facilitate access to the abdominal cavity. This study aims to establish whether they also prevent bacteria crossing from the abdominal cavity to the surgical incision site. Patients undergoing abdominal surgery in which a plastic wound retractor (Alexis®)is used are eligible for inclusion in the study. Swabs are taken from the inside and the outside of the plastic wound retractor prior to removing the retractor from the abdomen. The bacterial flora from swabs taken inside and outside the plastic wound protector are then compared to see if there is any difference between inside and outside the retractor. Bacteria are classified as 'enteric'(i.e. from the gastrointestinal tract) or 'skin' bacteria, depending on their usual location. The study aims to establish whether a plastic wound retractor (Alexis®) reduces translocation of enteric bacteria to the surgical incision site.
