Rates of antimicrobial resistance are increasing worldwide. There is increasing evidence that physiological gut microbiota is a large reservoir of antibiotic-resistance genes. Healthy gut microbiota is known to prevent the colonization of the gastrointestinal tract by pathogens, the so-called mechanism of colonization resistance, but this protective mechanism can be altered by therapies that impair gut microbiota, including antibiotics with consequent colonization of gut pathogens, including carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE). CRE carriers represent an epidemiological threat to other hospitalized patients and to the whole community, but are also at risk of developing clinical consequences of this colonization, including bloodstream infections from these pathogens. Neomycin has shown high efficacy in the eradication of CRE invitro. Neomycin has also been approved to treat hepatic coma by eradicating bacterial in gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, this evidence suggests that this procedure could be useful in eradicating CRE. However, current evidence is mostly limited. The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy of Neomycin, compared with no intervention in eradicating gut colonization from CRE.
This study is to clarify the distribution characteristics, host and clinical characteristics, disease outcome and risk factors, changes of multiple organs such as cardiopulmonary function and changes in social and psychological indicators during long-term follow-up of omicron variant asymptomatic infections and diagnosed patients
this study is to clarify the epidemiological characteristics of Omicron variant infected persons in Shanghai, such as distribution characteristics, host and clinical characteristics, disease outcome and risk factors. especially asymptomatic infections.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa causes severe infections in hospitalized patients. The worldwide emergence of carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa (CR-PA) makes infections by these pathogens almost untreatable. The World Health Organization now ranks CR-PA highest in the list of 'urgent threats'. Information for action to prevent further emergence has to come from insight into sources and transmission routes through smart surveillance. At present, a smart surveillance strategy is not available for CR-PA. The aim of this project is to develop a globally-applicable smart surveillance strategy to guide action against the spread of CR-PA. Since P. aeruginosa prefers moist niches, we will focus on the human-water interface. First, highly-sensitive methods to detect CR-PA in specific environmental and human niches will be developed. Subsequently, CR-PA will be collected in three study sites with increasing prevalences of CR-PA, increasingly warmer climates, and different water situations: Rotterdam (The Netherlands), Rome (Italy), Jakarta (Indonesia). CR-PA will be searched for in a variety of niches in the environment outside and inside the hospital, and in healthy humans and hospitalized patients. Whole genome sequencing will be performed to compare the CR-PA from different sources and identify transmission routes. Our project will provide insight into the relative contribution of the different potential reservoirs of CR-PA to its spread in different settings which will be used for the development of a globally-applicable surveillance strategy for CR-PA to guide preventive actions.
This is an open label randomised controlled study of oral ivermectin (600 mcg/kg/d* 3 day) versus combined of hydroxychloroquine plus darunavir/ ritonavir for 5 days treatment among asymptomatic carrier of SAR-CoV2 adult Thai population. Both study treatment regimens will have oral zinc sulfate combination treatment ( 200mg. twice daily). Outcomes include safety and duration of detectable of SAR-CoV2 in nasopharyngeal/ throat (NP) swab by polymerase chain reaction amplification (PCR) after treatment. 40-50 patients in each treatment arm is planned, with an interim analysis when approximately 50% of cases is enrolled.
