Scientists mine patient blood for new weapons against superbug
NCT ID NCT04335383
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to develop new antibody treatments for Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a bacteria that can be resistant to many antibiotics. Researchers will collect blood from 30 patients who have had this infection to isolate and produce antibodies that can fight the bacteria. The goal is to find an alternative to antibiotics for treating these hard-to-kill infections.
