Filter by:Staphylococcus aureus osteoarticular infections, in particular those associated with the presence of implant, relapse in 20% of cases. Currently, the reasons for these relapses are poorly understood, whether on the microbiological or clinical side. The aim of this study is to improve knowledge on persistence of mechanisms of S. aureus
Given the paucity of pharmacological data on cefazolin treatment of Methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) complicated S. aureus infection (CSAI), the primary purpose of this study is to investigate the probability of pharmacological target attainment (in the blood and infected tissue) with standard intermittent bolus administration of cefazolin in patients with CSAI caused by MSSA by determining plasma concentrations of cefazolin and exact Minimum inhibitory concentration (MICs) of the causative MSSA strains in patients with various disease severities (e.g. critically ill vs. noncritically ill patients). - Sub-study quantitative measurement of Torque Teno virus (TTV): The primary purpose of this sub-study is to describe the viral kinetics of TTV in CSAI patients and to explore the association of TTV viremia with clinical outcomes and molecular markers of activation of the immune system. - Sub-study investigating antibiotic concentrations in sweat as a non-invasive therapeutic drug monitoring
Hemodialysis patients are at high-risk for infections, specifically Staphylococcus aureus infections. The investigators propose to 1) implement a novel intervention (nasal povidone-iodine at each hemodialysis session) to prevent S. aureus infections using a stepped-wedge cluster randomized trial, and 2) evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of this intervention. If successful, this intervention can be used among hemodialysis patients, and evaluated in other high-risk patient populations to prevent S. aureus infections.
This is a single center, open-label phase1b clinical trial. The study will evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of an experimental recombinant staphylococcus aureus vaccine with different immunization schedules in healthy adults aged 18-70 years, including day 0-3-7, day 0/0-3-7, day 0/0-7 and day 0/0-7-14.
This is an open-label, dose-escalation pilot study with a total of 30 participants with 10 per dosage group. The aim of the pilot study is to explore the preliminary safety of an experimental recombinant staphylococcus aureus vaccine.
Before this study, there will be an open-label, dose-escalation pilot study with a total of 30 participants with 10 per dosage group. The aim of the pilot study is to explore the preliminary safety of an experimental recombinant staphylococcus aureus vaccine. This is a single center, double-blind, placebo control, dose-escalation phase 1 clinical trial. This study will determine the safety and side-effect profile, and immunogenicity of an experimental recombinant staphylococcus aureus vaccine. The study will be carried out following a dose-escalation method from the low dosage to the high dosage, i.e. the higher dosage vaccine could only be administrated after the first seven-day safety of the lower dosage vaccine is confirmed after safety observation.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate whether PDT (MRSAid™) is effective in eradicating SA from hemodialysis patients who are known to harbor this organism inside their nose.
Study to determine the efficacy, safety and tolerability of two concentrations of XF-73 nasal gel in combination with body and face washing with chlorhexidine gluconate cloths in eradicating nasal carriage of Staphylococcus aureus.
The purpose of this study is to determine how monocyte HLA-DR and other markers of immune function change with time in patients with and without prior immune dysfunction who survive sepsis from Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia. We hypothesize that patients with prior immune dysfunction will have greater reductions in HLA-DR and other markers of immune function after an episode of sepsis than people who do not have prior immune dysfunction.
Increasing resistance to antibiotic agents has been recognized as a major health problem worldwide that will even aggravate due to the lack of new antimicrobial agents within the next decade [1]. This threat underscores the need to maximize clinical utility of existing antibiotics, through more rational prescription, e.g. optimizing duration of treatment. Staphylococcus aureus bloodstream infection (SAB) is a common disease with about 200,000 cases occurring annually in Europe [2]. A course of at least 14 days of intravenous antimicrobials is considered standard therapy [3-5] in "uncomplicated" SAB. This relatively long course serves to prevent SAB-related complications (such as endocarditis and vertebral osteomyelitis) that may result from hematogenous dissemination to distant sites. However, there is insufficient evidence that a full course of intravenous antibiotic therapy is always required in patients with a low risk of SAB-related complications. In a multicenter, open-label, randomized controlled trial we aim to demonstrate that an early switch from intravenous to oral antimicrobial therapy is non-inferior to a conventional 14-days course of intravenous therapy regarding efficacy and safety. An early switch from intravenous to oral therapy would provide several benefits such as earlier discharge, fewer adverse reactions associated with intravenous therapy, increased quality of life, and cost savings.
