Filter by:This is a Phase I/IIa trial designed to evaluate topical bacteriophage therapy in patients with diabetic foot ulcers.
This is a 2-part study, with Part A being the randomized, controlled portion of the study in patients with ABC hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia (HABP), ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (VABP), or bacteremia. Part B is the single-group portion of the study and includes ABC infections that are resistant to or have failed colistin or polymyxin B treatment, as detailed in the inclusion criteria.
The investigators aimed to confirm the utility of the synergy test results (E-tesT) in vitro to predict the efficacy and safety of colistin-rifampin combination and colistin monotherapy in extensively drug-resistant acinetobacter baumannii.
Acinetobacter species have emerged as agents of serious nosocomial infections in critically ill patients. Only a few effective antibiotics are currently available for the treatment of this pathogen and, therefore, sulbactam is being considered as an alternative treatment option. The aims of this study were to i) reveal the population pharmacokinetics and ii) assess the probability of target attainment (PTA) of sulbactam in septic critically ill patients caused by Acinetobacter spp. infections. The study was conducted in septic critically ill patients caused by Acinetobacter spp. Each patient received 2 g every 12 h of sulbactam for 10 days, after which PK studies were carried out on day 4 of sulbactam therapy and a Monte Carlo simulation was performed to determine the probability of attaining a specific pharmacodynamic target.
The present study was designed to study the impact of empirical treatment with colistin empirical monotherapy and combined treatment with tigecycline and vancomycin on mortality of bacteremia Multiresistant Acinetobacter Baumannii . The main objective was to evaluate the efficacy of empirical treatment with colistin and combined targeted therapy. The different therapeutical interventions were administered following the routine clinical practice in the medical centre and the investigator did not assign specific interventions to the subjects of the study.
This study purposed to examine the adequate range of therapeutic concentration for Korean people by observing curative effects, side effects, blood concentration, etc. in treating CRAB-infected patients with colistin.
The primary objective is to assess for independent predictors of in-hospital mortality (up to 28 days) in patients with Acinetobacter bloodstream infection. Secondary Objectives include the following: To determine the impact of inactive empiric antimicrobial therapy, defined as receipt of empiric antimicrobial therapy with no in vitro activity against the offending isolate for at least 24hrs, on the outcome (end points defined below) of patients with Acinetobacter bloodstream infection. To determine the impact of carbapenem resistance and pan-drug resistance (defined as resistance to all antimicrobials except colistin and/or tigecycline if these agents were tested) on the outcome of patients with Acinetobacter bloodstream infection. To assess the efficacy of varying definitive therapies on the outcome of patients with Acinetobacter bloodstream infection. To characterize the molecular epidemiology of Acinetobacter on a global level, as determined by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and other techniques, and to assess whether patient outcomes are clonally related and to characterize the mechanisms of resistance in Acinetobacter on a global scale.
The objectives of this multinational study are to assess the clinical outcomes of patients with Acinetobacter bloodstream infection and to further assess the predictors of mortality in this patient population. We also aim to characterize the molecular epidemiology of this remarkable organism in an attempt to further understand its transmission dynamics on a global level and to determine whether increased pathogenicity is geographically dependent.
It has been demonstrated that panresistant strains of Acinetobacter species may be selected by antibiotic use [4], may be transmitted from person to person [5], and may be passed via environmental contamination [6]. Surveillance for panresistant Acinetobacter species should be a priority, given the lack of antibiotic options for the treatment of these infections. There are currently no data on the antibiotic susceptibility of Acinetobacter species or on the rates of panresistant organisms. The elucidation of potential risk factors for resistant strains of Acinetobacter is therefore an important task, and the use of alternative antibiotics should be considered in ICUs where these strains are endemic.
