Gene hunt to stop unnecessary antibiotics
NCT ID NCT03374371
Summary
This study aimed to create a better test to tell if a common skin bacteria found in a patient's blood is causing a real infection or is just contamination from the skin. Researchers compared the genetic makeup of bacteria from 320 hospitalized patients who either had a confirmed infection or just a contaminated sample. The goal is to help doctors decide when antibiotic treatment is truly needed, preventing unnecessary use.
