Tracking germs that resist key antibiotics in Swiss hospitals
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study collects and studies lab-detected germs in hospital patients that produce special enzymes making some antibiotics less effective. It helps researchers understand how these resistant germs spread over time in Switzerland.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a lab test in a Swiss tertiary care hospital that found carbapenemase-producing bacteria
- The detection happened between January 1, 2008 and December 31, 2028
- Your medical team is using your collected hospital data for this study
- You did not officially refuse the later use of your data

This study builds a Swiss database using lab genetic testing (whole genome sequencing) plus basic patient information to track outbreaks of serious, drug-resistant, and sometimes high-infectious pathogens. Your data could help researchers understand how these germs spread and how to better prevent them.
This study looks at whether certain bacteria that carry ESBL enzymes are spreading between people. To join, you would need lab-confirmed evidence that you carry these bacteria based on routine samples taken during usual care.
This study looks at new ways to fight antibiotic-resistant bacteria in people with certain common infections. It may help by testing approaches tailored to the specific germs found in your urine, lungs, or deeper infections.
This study looks at whether a simple rectal swab test can help predict the risk of developing infections that are resistant to common antibiotics. It focuses on patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) who have already had this swab done as part of their care.
This study gathers information about blood infections to better understand them and improve care. It may help by providing detailed data on your specific infection.
This study looks at bacteria (including antibiotic-resistant germs) present when you are admitted to a hospital. It may help doctors understand how often these germs are carried and how to respond early to prevent spread.
