Staphylococcal infection

This phase II trial tests whether a fecal microbiota transplant (using donor stool) can help eliminate multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) from the gut of infected patients. 32 adults with resistant bacterial infections will receive the transplant plus standard antibiotics. The…

This study looks at whether a special team of doctors and nurses can treat adults with suspected infections at home, instead of sending them to the hospital. About 500 people will be randomly assigned to either standard hospital care or home-based care from a mobile response team…

This study tests whether using personalized dosing (based on drug levels in the blood) for the antibiotic teicoplanin works better than standard dosing for treating bacterial infections. About 74 adults in hospital intensive care or other units will take part. The goal is to see …

This early study tests whether transferring a parent's healthy nasal bacteria to their newborn can help prevent staph infections. Researchers will give the baby a nasal spray containing the parent's bacteria or a placebo, then monitor the baby's nose bacteria and safety. The stud…

This study tests whether giving two IV antibiotics early, instead of one, can clear Staphylococcus aureus bloodstream infections faster and improve outcomes. About 300 hospitalized adults will be randomly assigned to receive either a single antibiotic or a combination of two. Onc…

This study aimed to see if a computer could learn to predict how long a patient would stay in a home hospital program. Researchers planned to use data from past patients to train the computer. However, the study was withdrawn before any patients were enrolled, so no results are a…

This study looks at immune cells from people with autoimmune diseases (like lupus), people with infections, and healthy volunteers. Researchers want to understand how these cells differ and what makes them attack the body in autoimmune conditions. The study involves blood and bon…

This study looks back at medical records of about 5,000 people with a serious bloodstream infection caused by a common bacterium. Researchers compare two antibiotic treatments to see which one leads to better survival and fewer side effects. The goal is to find out if a newer opt…

This study looks at data from two previous clinical trials involving 369 patients with Staphylococcus aureus bloodstream infections. Researchers want to see if adding the antibiotic fosfomycin to standard care helps certain patient groups more than others. They will classify pati…
