BACTERIAL INFECTIONS

This study tested a new, easy-to-use blood culture system called BactInsight in hospitals in Benin and Burkina Faso. The goal was to see if it can diagnose bloodstream infections faster and more reliably than current methods, helping doctors use antibiotics more wisely. Over 1,70…

This study looked at blood proteins from 394 people with high fever to see if a computer could find a pattern that tells bacterial infections apart from viral ones. The goal is to create a simple test that helps doctors choose the right treatment faster. The research is complete …

This study tested a new imaging technique using a radioactive tracer called 11C-trimethoprim to see how it spreads in the body and how well it can find bacterial infections. About 16 adults with known or suspected infections received PET/CT scans over a few hours. The goal was to…

This study tested a radioactive tracer called 11C-PABA to see if it can help doctors find infections deep inside the body using PET scans. 13 healthy people and patients with infections, inflammation, or cancer took part. The goal was to see if this imaging method can tell infect…

This study tested whether giving mothers a single 2-gram dose of azithromycin during labour (or just before a C-section) could prevent skin and soft tissue infections in their babies by 3 months of age. Over 2,100 pregnant women participated. The goal was to see if this simple, o…

This study tested if a special probiotic (Bifidobacterium breve) could reduce diarrhea and other stomach issues in 121 children aged 3-12 who were taking amoxicillin antibiotics for bacterial infections. The probiotic was given alongside the antibiotics to see if it helped protec…

This early-stage study tested the safety and drug interaction of two antibiotics (cefiderocol and xeruborbactam) given together in 60 healthy adults aged 18-55. Researchers measured how the drugs move through the body and checked for side effects. The goal was to gather informati…

This study looks at why some medications, like the antifungal drug voriconazole, can make skin extremely sensitive to light, causing a reaction similar to a bad sunburn. Researchers will measure gene activity in skin samples and test how ultraviolet light affects the skin of peop…

This early-stage study tested a new oral drug combination (QPX7831 and ceftibuten) in 53 healthy adults to see how safe it is and how the body processes it. The goal was to gather information on side effects and drug levels, not to treat any disease. Results will help design futu…

This early-phase study looked at how a single dose of the antibiotic omadacycline is processed in the bodies of 23 children and teens (ages 8 to 17) with bacterial infections. Participants received the drug either by IV or by mouth. The main goal was to measure drug levels in the…
