NCT ID NCT07408544

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

Summary

This study tests a rapid PCR test that identifies bacteria and drug resistance in about an hour, compared to standard methods that take 1-3 days. 300 adults with bloodstream infections will be randomly assigned to get either the rapid test plus standard care or standard care alone. The goal is to see if the rapid test helps doctors start the most effective, narrow-spectrum antibiotic sooner, which could improve recovery and reduce side effects.
