Filter by:Approximately 40,000 Swedes suffer from sepsiseach year, about 20% die. Biomarkers that are sensitive to current or previous bacteremia are needed in the treatment of sepsis. Bacteremia from periodontal treatment is predictive and occurs in 13-75%. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the number one cause of death in industrialized countries and the impact of bacteria and their products need to be elucidated. The study's hypothesis is to utilize bacteremia from periodontal treatment to evaluate biological markers for current or previous bacteremia. A. What are the long term clinical, and 'omics related CVD-phenotypical effects from treating periodontal disease compared to an untreated group? B. Can biomarkers be used for detecting a bacteremia or previous bacteremia? C. Are the effects from bacteremia on cardiovascular biomarkers related to the individual's antimicrobial peptide profile? D. Does the presence of bacterial proteases, such as gingipain, relate to having a bacteremia from periodontal treatment and the systemic response from a bacteremia? Significance: The project has the potential to shorten the time to treat sepsis, which in turn shortens hospital stay and higher survival. The possible definition of protective AMP-profile could translate to future pharmacologic intervention and improve the treatment of sepsis as well as prophylactic treatment at dental treatments. An elucidation of the impact of bacteria and their products on CVD could lead to personalized medicine targeting anti-inflammation and anti-oxidative stress in subjects with periodontitis. As of March 2024 78 subjects have been included and we anticipate to keep the time-line that we set up.
A Phase 3, Multicenter, Randomised, Controlled, Open-Label Study to demonstrate noninferiority of temocillin (unauthorized investigational medicinal product IMP in Spain, but authorized in Belgium and UK) vs a carbapenem antibiotic (meropenem) in adults with bacteraemia due to third-generation cephalosporin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae. The duration of treatment will be between 7 and 14 days. From the 5th day of intravenous treatment, the sequential oral treatment is permitted if the patient meets appropriate conditions.
The purpose of this study is to assemble a multicenter prospective cohort of patients with enterococcal bloodstream infections (BSIs) to provide data on outcomes of patients with enterococcal BSIs for sample size calculations for future trials, as well as to characterize enterococcal isolates causing BSIs in order to comprehensively dissect the molecular epidemiology of infecting organisms for future studies.
GNB5 is an investigator-initiated multicentre non-inferiority randomized controlled trial which aims to assess the efficacy and safety of shortened antibiotic for patients hospitalized with a Gram negative bacteremia with a urinary tract source of infection (GNB). Five days after initiation of antimicrobial therapy for GNB, participants are randomized 1:1 to parallel treatment arms: 5 days (intervention) or minimum 7 days (control) of antibiotic treatment. The intervention group discontinues antibiotics at day 5 if clinically stable and afebrile. The control group receives antibiotics for a duration of 7 days or longer at the discretion of the treating physician. The primary outcome is 90-day survival without clinical or microbiological failure to treatment, which will be tested with a non inferiority margin of 10%.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of RaPID/BSI by testing its performance compared to blood cultures collected prospectively from consented subjects.
Prospective, multicenter, observational study on the evaluation of efficacy of appropriate monotherapy vs combination treatment for non-complicated Enterococcus faecalis bloodstream infection (EF-BSI). The aims of our study are: Primary: To compare the efficacy of appropriate monotherapy vs combination treatment for EF-BSI, according to standard of care. Secondary: 1. To compare the impact on clinical outcome of the initial combination therapy in the subgroup of patients with enterococcal endocarditis. In this case we will evaluate only the antibiotic treatment administered before the diagnosis of endocarditis assuming that any case of endocarditis will be treated with a combination therapy. 2. To compare the efficacy of combination treatment (vs monotherapy) in the following subgroup of patients: A. Patients with low versus high risk of endocarditis according with the "Number of positive blood cultures, Origin of the bacteremia, previous Valve disease, Auscultation of heart murmur (NOVA) score". B. Patients with metastatic septic localizations. C. Patients with catheter-related BSI. D. Patients with indwelling cardiovascular device or prosthetic valve. 3. To validate the NOVA score as a predictor of enterococcal endocarditis in a large multicentre cohort of patients with EF-BSI. 4. To estimate optimal duration of treatment of EF-BSI in patients without endocarditis. 5. To evaluate the rate of 90-day development of Clostridium difficile infection. The promoting center is S. Orsola-Malpighi Hospital is a 1,420-bed tertiary care University Hospital in Bologna with an average of 72,000 admissions per year. A dedicate team of Infectious Diseases (ID) specialists is active in the promoting center. Investigators of this team have already coordinated multicenter studies on infections topics. Centers from other countries will be invited to participate by email, they will be ask to fulfil an agreement form. All consecutive, unselected patients with monomicrobial EF-BSI will be screened for study inclusion. We expect to enroll about 500 patients. Period of data collection will be from september 2019 to 31th December 2020.
Data regarding optimal treatment for extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing Enterobacteriaceae blood-stream infection are lacking. Observational studies show conflicting results when comparing treatment with combination beta-lactam-beta-lactamase inhibitor and carbapenems. The investigators aim to evaluate the effect of definitive treatment with meropenem vs. piperacillin-tazobactam on the outcome of patients with bacteremia due to cephalosporin-non-susceptible Enterobacteriaceae. The investigators hypothesize that piperacillin-tazobactam is non-inferior to meropenem.
Introduction: Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB) plays an important role in long-course antibiotic therapy. Current international guidelines recommend fourteen days of intravenous antibiotic treatment for SAB in order to minimize risks of secondary deep infections and complications. However, patients with simple SAB are known to have a low risk of complications. Reducing treatment length in uncomplicated SAB would reduce the total consumption of antibiotics, adverse events and duration of hospital admission. SAB7 seeks to determine if seven days of antibiotic treatment in patients with uncomplicated SAB is non-inferior to fourteen days of treatment. Method: The study is designed as a randomized, non-blinded, non-inferiority interventional study. Primary measure of outcome will be failure to treatment or recurrence of SAB twelve weeks after termination of antibiotic treatment. As a measure of secondary outcome the prevalence of severe adverse effects will be evaluated, in particular secondary infection with Clostridium difficile, mortality as well as public health related costs. Patients identified with uncomplicated SAB, are randomized 1:1 in two parallel arms to seven or fourteen days of antimicrobial treatment, respectively. Endpoints will be tested with a statistical non-inferiority margin of 10%. Conclusion: SAB 7 will determine if seven days of antibiotic treatment in patients with uncomplicated SAB is sufficient and safe, potentially modifying current treatment recommendations.
The present study focuses on patients with Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PSA) sepsis. The aim of the present study is to find out whether the M1 (pro-inflammatory) or M2 (anti-inflammatory) phenotype predominates in blood monocytes in critically ill patients with PSA-sepsis, and whether the severity of sepsis and outcome is associated with distinct monocyte phenotype and function.
The purpose of this European, multicentric, prospective, non-interventional study is to document and evaluate the efficacy and safety of the treatment of severely infected patients with intravenously administered fosfomycin, including patients with osteomyelitis, complicated urinary tract infection, nosocomial lower respiratory tract infection, bacterial meningitis/central nervous system infection, bacteraemia/sepsis, skin and soft tissue infection, endocarditis or other infections, each as far as covered by the respective nationally relevant SmPC.
