NCT ID NCT07184515
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study will analyze bacteria from neck abscesses in 50 patients to understand which germs cause these infections and which antibiotics work best. Researchers will link lab results to patient outcomes like hospital stay length and complications. The goal is to help doctors choose more effective treatments for these serious infections.
