Testing a new blood test for bloodstream infections
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study tests a new blood test that may quickly find bacteria or yeast causing a bloodstream infection. It uses a small extra blood sample taken at the same time as your regular blood culture, and could help doctors identify the infection faster.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You can be any age—newborn, child, or adult.
- You must be in the hospital (intensive care, emergency, or other medical ward) because of a sudden illness.
- Your doctor must have decided to do a blood culture because they suspect a serious infection in your blood.
- An extra blood sample (about 1 teaspoon) must be taken from the same site and at the same time as the routine blood culture.
- The extra sample must not be drawn through a line that has just been used to give antibiotics.

This study tests a new blood test that may find bloodstream infections faster and more accurately than standard methods. It could help doctors start the right treatment sooner.
This trial tests a new, faster way to find bacteria in the blood of children with suspected sepsis. It uses a molecular test that may give results sooner than standard cultures, helping doctors treat infections more quickly.
This study looks at how labs process blood cultures for sepsis to find faster, better ways to detect infections. It may help improve treatment speed for patients with sepsis.
This study tests two new blood tests to see if they can help doctors find sepsis earlier in the emergency department. Sepsis is a serious condition where the body overreacts to an infection, and finding it quickly could lead to faster treatment and better outcomes.
This study is testing a blood test that may help doctors diagnose sepsis faster. It involves people with sepsis and healthy volunteers to compare results.
This trial checks if a faster test to find the best antibiotic for a bloodstream infection can improve treatment and outcomes. If you have a confirmed bloodstream infection, you may be able to join.
