Summary: Mycobacterium abscessus (MABS) is a group of rapid-growing, multi-drug resistant non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) causing infections in humans. MABS pulmonary disease (MABS-PD) can result in significant morbidity, increased healthcare utilisation, accelerated lung function decline, impaired quality of life, more challenging lung transplantation, and increased mortality. While the overall numbers...

Objective: To determine the impact of rifaximin on gut microbial diversity and compare it with controls. * Secondary

Summary: The study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of Meropenem and Pralurbactam versus Best Available Therapy in the treatment of Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae Infections. Infections evaluated in the study will be hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia (HABP), ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (VABP), complicated intra-abdominal infection (cIAI), complicated urinary tract infection ...

Summary: TREAT-GNB is an innovative trial to expedite the evaluation of various antibiotic choices and treatment strategies for severe multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacterial infections, specifically bloodstream and lower respiratory tract infections. This approach combines platform trial elements with adaptive clinical designs to streamline the evaluation of various treatment options and optimise reso...

Summary: Colistin can be used to treat the infection caused by carbapenem-resistant enterobacteriaceae(CRE). In China, patients diagnosed with Hospital-acquired-pneumonia (HAP)or bloodstream infection caused by CRE are recruited, and randomly assigned to two groups, and in one group the patients accept treatment with colistin, however in another group, the patients accept treatment without colistin. The ef...

Summary: CRAB infections in ICUs are on the rise, leading to higher morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs due to resistance to most antibiotics, including carbapenems. The main resistance mechanisms include carbapenemases, efflux pumps, and changes in the bacterial cell wall. Current treatments include polymyxins (Colistin, Polymyxin B), which are effective but can lead to resistance, aminoglycosides ...

Summary: Healthcare- associated infections that caused by multi-drug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (MDR G-ve) represent the most important problem that face the critically ill patients in the ICU. The available broad-spectrum antibiotics as penicillin, fluoroquinolones, aminoglycosides, and β-lactams fail to overcome these aggressive organisms. Accordingly, this led to the reconsideration of old drugs s...

Summary: This is a randomized controlled trial where patients undergoing surgical treatment for urogenital cancers will be randomized in a two arms study: surgical treatment + antibiotics OR surgical treatment + placebo.

Summary: Tigecycline is a last-resort antibiotic that is used to treat severe infections caused by extensively drug-resistant bacteria. However, the efficacy and safety data for tigecycline in infectious patients are lacking. The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of tigecycline in infectious patients using pharmacokinetics and omics.
