Bacterial Infections Clinical Trials

Dalbavancin, currently FDA approved for the treatment of skin and soft tissue infections (SSTI), is a lipoglycopedptide with bactericidal activity in vitro against Staphylococcus aureus, including MRSA and VISA strains, and Streptococcus pyogenes. Its bactericidal action results primarily from inhibition of cell-wall biosynthesis, specifically the prevention of N-acetylmuramic acid (NAM) ...

It is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, controlled study to evaluate a scheme with and without a loading dose of 6 million international units of colistin, followed by a maintenance dose of 3 million international units every 8 hours intravenous. The study should be conducted in 3 hospitals in Chile, in ...

This trial will be conducted at Vestfold Hospital, Norway, and is a prospective observational study with intention to treat. Participants will be consecutively included among hospitalized patients suffering from urosepsis - see eligibility criteria. After 3 days with parenteral antibiotics, when clinical improvement and absence of fever/leukocytosis is confirmed, the ...

Methods IgG-antibodies against S.pneumoniae - solid-phase ELISA. General levels of IgA, IgM, IgG, IgE in sera - radial immunodiffusion. Phagocytic activity (granulocytes, monocytes), nitroblue tetrazolium test; activated T-lymphocytes (CD3+CD69+); activated B-lymphocytes (CD3-CD69+); absolute content of leukocytes; absolute and relative content of lymphocytes, granulocytes, monocytes, T-lymphocytes (CD3+, CD4+, CD8+), B-lymphocytes (CD69+); ...

BACKGROUND Whereas mortality has been dramatically reduced in some areas of cardiac diseases thanks to continuous progress in treatment, endocarditis remains a high-mortality disease with steady percentages of mortality in the last 30 years. Several reasons may help to account for this frustrating comparison. The changing pattern of the epidemiology ...

Patients with active or recent S. aureus SSTI will be recruited from St. Louis Children's Hospital and community pediatric practices affiliated with the investigators practice-based research network. All participants (index patients and their household contacts) will perform a baseline S. aureus decolonization protocol for 5 days consisting of enhanced hygiene ...

This is a multicenter, open-label, single-dose pharmacokinetic (PK) study. Infants, children, and adolescents will receive a single 10 mg/kg dose of telavancin infused intravenously (IV) over 60 minutes

This is a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, investigation of a six week course of adjunctive rifampin vs. adjunctive matched placebo (riboflavin) added to backbone antibacterial therapy for the treatment of diabetic foot osteomyelitis. Backbone antibacterial therapy will be with single or multiple agents selected by the clinical treatment team based ...

The aim of this study is to: Evaluate the clinical outcome of two different dosing regimen of IV colistin in the treatment of children with multidrug resistant gram-negative infections or sepsis. To estimate the frequency of colistin associated adverse effects. To correlate the serum colistin concentration and MIC to microbiological ...

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common cause of hospitalization worldwide, the prevalence throughout the life of UTI has been reported in about 50,000 cases per 100,000 women and 13,000 per 100,000 men in the United States. Hospitalization for community-acquired UTI is about 33%. Furthermore, the UTI related to bladder ...
