Simple test could slash use of Last-Resort antibiotics for UTIs

NCT ID NCT07675018

First seen Jun 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This trial investigates whether a rapid test for antibiotic resistance genes (integrons) can help doctors choose narrower-spectrum antibiotics for hospitalized adults with urinary tract infections (UTIs). Participants must have had a recent infection with a resistant bacterium. Those whose test is negative will receive a standard third-generation cephalosporin instead of stronger drugs like carbapenems. The goal is to see if this approach reduces the number of days patients are treated with broad-spectrum antibiotics without compromising recovery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Detection of integrons (diagnostic test)

What this could lead to

If successful, this test could help doctors avoid using strong, broad-spectrum antibiotics for many urinary tract infections, reducing the risk of antibiotic resistance.

What could go wrong

This is a relatively small, early-stage trial. The test may not accurately predict resistance in all cases, and the approach may not work for all patients or settings.
