Filter by:Intensive Care Unit (ICU) acquired pneumonia, including ventilator-associated pneumonia, is a frequently occurring health-care associated infection, which causes considerable morbidity, mortality and health care costs. Important pathogens causing ICU pneumonia are Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The epidemiology of ICU pneumonia and patient-related and contextual factors is not fully described, but is urgently needed to support the development of effective interventions.
The objective is to determine the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of 2 single doses of ZTI-01 (1g and 8g infused over 1-hr) and a single dose of the Reference Label Drug, Monurol® (oral sachet, 3g). Subjects will be randomized to a treatment sequence prior to dosing on Day 1 of Period 1 prior to study screening.
To investigate the pharmacokinetic characteristics of POL7080 co-administered with SoC during 10 to 14 days of treatment in VAP patients due to suspected or documented Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection
The purpose of this trial is to compare the effects of treatment with tobramycin solution for inhalation (TIS) with and without azithromycin in people with cystic fibrosis (CF) age 6 months to 18 years who have early isolation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa) from a respiratory culture. Specimens of blood and sputum or throat swabs will be taken during the study along with pulmonary function testing. Participants will receive initial treatment with TIS followed additional treatment with TIS if quarterly respiratory cultures are positive for Pa in addition to either azithromycin or placebo for 18 months.
Pulmonary phage therapy to treat bacterial infections of the respiratory tract have been investigated in animals. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the efficacy of bacteriophages in infecting Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) strains present in sputum samples. A cocktail of 10 bacteriophages will be applied on 60 sputum samples obtained from cystic fibrosis (CF) patients during 6 hours.We will determine the bacteria and bacteriophages strains in sputum samples collected. Then the sensitivity of individual colony will be tested.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the main pathogen of nosocomial respiratory infections. Its increasing resistance to antibiotics requires the development of new strategies for prevention and control, demanding a better understanding of the modes of transmission and evolutionary dynamics of this bacteria. In patients under invasive mechanical ventilation, the main mode of contamination by Pseudomonas remains debated, with 3 modes of contamination (endogenous, crossed transmission between patients, or environmental origin) of varying importance, mainly depending on the endemic situation of the place of study. The emergence of new genotyping technologies (DiversiLab) can now facilitate studies of molecular epidemiology. Thanks to the multidisciplinary collaboration and innovative techniques, the investigators wish to study the impact of the mode of contamination on the outcome of ICU patients, intubated and ventilated for more than 72 hours.
This study is to investigate whether using a continuous alternating therapy (CAT) regimen of 2 antibiotics of different classes and with different mechanisms of action may provide the clinical benefits of reducing acute pulmonary exacerbations, maintaining lung function, and controlling respiratory symptoms for cystic fibrosis (CF) patients while minimizing the risk of emergence of antibiotic-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) strains. After screening, eligible participants will be enrolled into the study and begin a 28-day run in period of tobramycin inhalation solution (TIS) twice daily. After the run-in, participants will return to the clinic and be randomized to either the Aztreonam for Inhalation Solution (AZLI) arm or the placebo arm. The AZLI arm has 3 cycles of AZLI three times daily for 28 days alternating with TIS twice daily for 28 days. The placebo arm has 3 cycles of placebo three times daily for 28 days alternating with 3 cycles of TIS twice daily for 28 days. Participants will return to the clinic for evaluation after each cycle of antibiotics for evaluation. There will be 9 scheduled study visits per participant.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa) is the bacterium that causes one of the most consequential lung infections in people with CF. Many young children do not have Pa in their lungs but will become infected as they get older. The investigators want to learn more about how Pa is passed from person to person, especially to someone with Cystic Fibrosis (CF).
The main objective is to verify that the administration of piperacillin / tazobactam administered by continuous infusion to treat complicated infections or with known or suspected nosocomial isolation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa is superior in efficacy to a 30% higher dose administered in conventional short infusion. The secondary objectives were compared between the following variables: - Microbiological response at 3 days of starting treatment - Time to microbiological cure - Clinical response at 3 days of starting treatment - Time to achieve defervescence - To examine the relationship between pharmacokinetic variables and parameters of efficacy and safety - To test the hypothesis that continuous infusion maintains adequate plasma drug levels compared with levels achieved with intermittent administration. - Cost-effectiveness analysis - Occurrence of adverse effects To this end, we designed a multicenter, randomized, controlled, double blind, comparing both forms of administration in patients with complicated or nosocomial infection with or without isolation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Patients who are candidates for inclusion are classified according to APACHE II and to have or not isolation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Subsequently be randomized to receive piperacillin-tazobactam by continuous infusion or short. Primary endpoint was measured as the ultimate effectiveness of treatment and other variables such as high efficiency, safety, pharmacokinetic and pharmacoeconomic.
The purpose of this study is to prolong the time to reinfection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa after successfully treated acute or intermittent infection.
