Guided antibiotic treatment for blood infections
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at how doctors can best manage antibiotics for a common type of blood infection (caused by Enterobacterales bacteria like E. coli). If you join, your treatment will be carefully guided to make sure you get the right antibiotics at the right time, which may help you recover faster and prevent antibiotic resistance.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older.
- You must be a patient in the hospital (in a general medical ward).
- You must have a blood infection caused by certain bacteria, including E. coli or Klebsiella.
- You must not have other types of bacteria in your blood or other body fluids.
- You should not have an infection that needs antibiotics for several weeks, like an abscess, brain infection, or heart infection.
- You must not have a very weak immune system, such as from recent stem cell transplant or high-dose steroids.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at whether using two or more antibiotics together works better than one alone for a specific type of blood infection caused by Enterococcus faecalis bacteria. The goal is to find the safest and most effective way to treat this infection and improve outcomes for patients.
This trial aims to improve how antibiotics are chosen for patients with resistant bacterial infections in the blood. It uses faster diagnostic tests and expert advice to ensure the most effective treatment.
This study collects health information from adults with bloodstream infections to learn more about how these infections are managed and to find better ways to treat them. If you join, your medical data may be used for research, and you might be invited to join a sub-study about treatments.
This trial uses a new blood test (called BV test) to help doctors decide if antibiotics should be stopped or continued for ICU patients with suspected or confirmed infections. It aims to reduce unnecessary antibiotic use while keeping patients safe.
This trial looks at how well certain penicillin-type antibiotics work for treating a bloodstream infection caused by a bacterium called Enterococcus faecalis. It may help doctors know which treatment is best for patients with this infection.
This study tests different antibiotic combinations for severe infections caused by hard-to-treat Gram-negative bacteria (like Pseudomonas or Acinetobacter). The goal is to find the best treatment for bloodstream infections or pneumonia that started in the hospital.
