Scientists hunt clues to deadly pneumonia outbreaks
NCT ID NCT02798497
Summary
This study aimed to understand why some Staphylococcus aureus pneumonia cases become very severe and deadly. Researchers followed 234 patients across France who were hospitalized with severe staph pneumonia. They collected data to see if a specific bacterial toxin (PVL) and a patient's own genetics made the illness worse, rather than testing a new treatment.
