Scientists hunt for genetic tricks behind superbug's antibiotic shield

NCT ID NCT07541690

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study aims to find out how often multi-drug resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteria carry genes that help them form biofilms (sticky layers) and pump out antibiotics. Researchers will collect urine, pus, and sputum samples from 100 hospital patients with these infections. They will test the bacteria in the lab to see which resistance genes are present, helping to understand how these superbugs survive.
