Hidden superbug in UTIs under the microscope
NCT ID NCT07204769
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at a little-known bacteria called Providencia that can cause urinary tract infections (UTIs). Researchers will collect samples from 241 patients to identify the germ, test which antibiotics work against it, and look for genes that make it resistant to drugs. The goal is to learn more about this emerging pathogen so doctors can better treat these infections in the future.
