Clinical Trial Summary

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.
