New hope against superbug: antibiotic combo targets resistant klebsiella
NCT ID NCT07369518
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will test the antibiotic combination ceftazidime-avibactam on 100 patients with healthcare-associated infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae. Researchers will collect samples from blood, urine, and other sites to identify the bacteria and check for resistance genes. The goal is to see how well the drug works and understand the genetic makeup of these superbugs.
