Active clinical trials for "Bacteremia"

Successful Treatment of Maternal Listeria Monocytogenes Bacteremia in the First Trimester of Pregnancy

To evaluate the performance of a single high volume blood culture sampling strategy versus the actually used multiple sampling strategy for the diagnosis and categorization of infective endocarditis according to the Duke-Li classification in a Population of adults suspected of infective endocarditis.

Study of incidence and risk factors of staphylococcus aureus bacteremia in patients with rheumatoid arthritis compared with the general population in a nationwide cohort of all adult members of the population from 1996 until 2017 using national registries

The primary objective of this study is to detect differences in anti-S. aureus antibody assays (IgM, IgA, IgG and its subclasses) between (1) a group of patients with bacteremia due to a chronic wound (cases) and (2) a group of patients with localized chronic wound infections (control).

Nosocomial bloodstream infections are important causes of morbidity and mortality caused by AmpC beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae. The information collected will optimize the management of patients with nosocomial bloodstream infections.

Biofilms on oral piercings may serve as a bacterial reservoir and lead to systemic bacteraemia or local transmission of periopathogenic microbiota. The investigators hypothesize that there are microbiological differences in bacterial samples collected from tongue /or lip piercings made of different materials. The investigators also hypothesize that the piercings carry the same characteristic bacteria as found in the piercing channels and that independently the biofilm on the tongue/adjacent teeth is similar to the other study locations. 85 subjects with tongue and 85 subjects with lip piercing will participate. Periodontal clinical parameters, traumata of hard tissues, and characteristics of the stud are evaluated. Sterile piercings of four different materials will be randomly allocated to the study subjects. After two weeks, microbiologic samples are collected and are processed by checkerboard DNA-DNA hybridization methods.

The aims of this study are to: Determine the risk factors for multidrug resistance in bloodstream isolates of Gram negative bacilli Determine the mechanisms of multidrug resistance in bloodstream isolates of Gram negative bacilli Determine the risk factors for failure of prompt clearance of the blood of Gram negative bacteria Determine the survival of patients with Gram negative bacteremia Determine if failure of prompt clearance of the blood of Gram negative bacteria is a predictor of mortality following this infection

This study will test the hypothesis that reliable implementation of an evidence-based clinical practice guideline for evaluation of patients with signs and symptoms of sepsis will decrease antibiotic use in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs).

Staphylococcus aureus represents one of the most met germs, with Escherichia coli, during bacteremia. Microbiologist distinguish at aureus S. two profiles of resistance in beta-lactamines: S. aureus sensitive to the methicillin ( SASM) and the S. aureus resistant to the methicillin ( SARM). With the implementation of the MALDI-TOF, it is now possible to identify the origin responsible of the bacteremia the day of the positivity of the hemoculture ( J0) and to set up a treatment with adapted antibiotic, which, in the case of a sepsis to aureus S., is the vancomycine. Ye it was demonstrated, that the use of the vancomycine on the SASM increased the average duration of stay and a more important rate of relapse. The PCR SARM was organized in the GHPSJ in 2014. It allows from the day of the positivity of the hemoculture ( J0), to determine the phenotype of resistance of S. aureus.

Bacteremia The Hypothesis of the study are the followings: To demonstrate relevant epidemiologic and clinical changes with potentially impact in the management and prognosis of the patients with bacteremia. Since the diagnosis and management is heterogeneous between centers, we could identify a scenario to improve. To identify quality indicators in the management of bacteremia. To demonstrate that some interventions made by Bacteremia Team pose relevant impact in the prognosis of bacteremia.
