Testing for resistant bacteria on surfaces and staff
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study tests for resistant bacteria on surfaces and staff members in a nursing unit that cares for patients with resistant bacteria. It helps understand how these bacteria spread in the hospital.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You work in the multidrug-resistant (MDR) department of the hospital.
- You are a staff member in the unit that treats patients with resistant bacteria.

This research study examines how certain bacteria become resistant to multiple antibiotics and develop protective biofilms. Researchers will study samples from patients with hospital-acquired infections to better understand why some bacteria survive antibiotics and how to fight them in the future.
This study looks at whether patients in the hospital who carry certain resistant bacteria in their gut are more likely to get infections. The goal is to understand the risk so doctors can better protect you.
This trial looks at bacteria from hospital patients that are hard to treat because they resist many drugs, especially the antibiotic colistin. It aims to understand how these bacteria become resistant so doctors can better choose treatments.
This trial looks at antibiotic resistance by testing wastewater in nursing homes. It aims to understand how resistance spreads and how to better protect residents.
This study tracks a specific kind of antibiotic-resistant gut bacteria in hospital patients and how it may spread to people living in the same home. It may help researchers understand transmission risk inside households and improve prevention strategies.
This study tests two different pairs of strong antibiotics to see which works better at clearing hard-to-treat bacterial infections that don't respond to standard drugs. You would receive one of these two combinations and be monitored for how well it works and any side effects.
