Carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas Aeruginosa: the SAMPAN Study.

Pseudomonas AeruginosaColonization2 more

Pseudomonas aeruginosa causes severe infections in hospitalized patients. The worldwide emergence of carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa (CR-PA) makes infections by these pathogens almost untreatable. The World Health Organization now ranks CR-PA highest in the list of 'urgent threats'. Information for action to prevent further emergence has to come from insight into sources and transmission routes through smart surveillance. At present, a smart surveillance strategy is not available for CR-PA. The aim of this project is to develop a globally-applicable smart surveillance strategy to guide action against the spread of CR-PA. Since P. aeruginosa prefers moist niches, we will focus on the human-water interface. First, highly-sensitive methods to detect CR-PA in specific environmental and human niches will be developed. Subsequently, CR-PA will be collected in three study sites with increasing prevalences of CR-PA, increasingly warmer climates, and different water situations: Rotterdam (The Netherlands), Rome (Italy), Jakarta (Indonesia). CR-PA will be searched for in a variety of niches in the environment outside and inside the hospital, and in healthy humans and hospitalized patients. Whole genome sequencing will be performed to compare the CR-PA from different sources and identify transmission routes. Our project will provide insight into the relative contribution of the different potential reservoirs of CR-PA to its spread in different settings which will be used for the development of a globally-applicable surveillance strategy for CR-PA to guide preventive actions.

Isolation of Human Recombinant Therapeutic Monoclonal Anti-Pseudomonas Antibodies

Pseudomonas AeruginosaMulti-antibiotic Resistance

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a pathogenic bacteria for human, especially in hospital settings. It can sometimes be multi-resistant to many or even to all antibiotics usually used for its treatment. The aim of the study is to isolate and produce therapeutic antibodies against the bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa in order to provide an alternative treatment to antibiotics in case of infection with an antibiotic-resistant strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Study of Aztreonam for Inhalation in Children With Cystic Fibrosis and New Infection of the Airways...

Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Respiratory Tract Infection/ColonizationCystic Fibrosis

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a 14-day course versus a 28-day course of aztreonam for inhalation solution (AZLI) in pediatric participants with new onset Pseudomonas aeruginosa respiratory tract infection or colonization.

Lcr35 / ICU / P. Aeruginosa

Pseudomonas Infections

Preventing carriage of potentially pathogenic micro-organisms from the aerodigestive tract is an infection control strategy used to reduce the occurrence of nosocomial infections - including ventilator-assisted pneumonia - in intensive care units. The use of antibiotics is controversial and can lead to adverse effect such as the selection of highly resistant pathogens. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of oral administration of a probiotic strain, Lactobacillus, on gastric and respiratory tract colonisation/infection by Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains, according to the concept that an indigenous flora has a protective effect against secondary colonisation.

The Use of Inhaled Aztreonam in Children With a Tracheostomy Tube and Pseudomonas

Tracheostomy Infection

This is a prospective, case-control clinical trial using inhaled Aztreonam (AZLI) in pediatric patients with a tracheostomy tube colonized with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The aim of the study is to see if AZLI being taken in a one month on / one month off cycle over the course of a year can decrease the need for systemic antibiotics and/or hospitalizations.

Confirmatory Phase II/III Study Assessing Efficacy, Immunogenicity and Safety of IC43

Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Infection

This is a confirmatory, randomized, placebo-controlled, multi-center, double-blinded phase II/III study. The study population consists of male or female intensive care unit (ICU) patients with a need for mechanical ventilation for more than 48 hours, aged between 18 and 80 years.

Population Pharmacokinetics of Prolonged Infusion Meropenem in Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Children

Cystic FibrosisPneumonia1 more

This study will determine the concentrations of the antibiotic meropenem when administered as a 3 hour prolonged infusion in children with cystic fibrosis who are hospitalized with an acute pulmonary exacerbation. Safety and practicality of administering meropenem as a 3 hour infusion will be measured.

Phase I Study of Colistin Methanesulfonate Sodium

InfectionsPseudomonas

This is a clinical study protocol for a single centre, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, single and repeat dose study to investigate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of intravenous dosing of Colistin Methanesulfonate Sodium (CMS-Na) in healthy Japanese male subjects. Eighteen subjects will receive CMS-Na 2.5mg/kg (as colistin activity or 75,000 IU/kg) or placebo as a single dose and twice daily for 2.5 days by intravenous infusion. Blood and urine samples for pharmacokinetics analysis will be taken at regular intervals after dosing. Safety will be assessed by measurement of vital signs, Echocardiogram (ECGs), safety laboratory data, renal function and review of adverse events.

Anti-Inflammatory Pulmonal Therapy of CF-Patients With Amitriptyline and Placebo

Cystic FibrosisInfection1 more

Our data indicate that the CFTR-molecule functions as a transporter for sphingosine-1-phosphate and sphingosine or regulates the uptake of these sphingolipids by epithelial cells. The disturbed uptake of sphingosine and sphingosine-1-phosphate over the cell membrane results in an accumulation of ceramide in the cell membrane, which finally triggers a pro-inflammatory and pro-apoptotic status in the respiratory tract of cystic fibrosis patients. Amitriptyline reduces the cera-mide levels in the lung tissue, normalises the activity of cytokines and prevents constitutive cell death of epithelial cells observed in CFTR-deficient mice. Most important, amitriptyline prevents pulmonary infections of CFTR-deficient mice with P. aeruginosa. These effects of amitriptyline may result in an improved lung function of cystic fibrosis patients.
