Rapid detection of pseudomonas lung infections using new imaging test
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests a faster way to detect Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a common cause of lung infections, using special imaging. It aims to see if this rapid test can help doctors track how well treatment is working.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You must have a Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection confirmed by a laboratory test.
- The infection must have been found in a sample taken from your lungs after you were admitted to the hospital.
- You cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You must be younger than 90 years old.

This trial tests a new way to predict how well patients with a ventilator-associated lung infection will respond to treatment. It uses two bronchoscopy samples to track bacteria levels and guide better care.
This study compares a newer, faster lab test (BioFire FilmArray) to standard testing for identifying the germs causing lung infections in hospitalized patients. The goal is to see if the faster test helps doctors choose better antibiotics more quickly.
This study looks at whether pictures from a lung CT and a bronchoscopy can help doctors quickly find the germ causing severe pneumonia. If you participate, your existing medical records will be reviewed to see if combining these imaging tests with lab tests speeds up diagnosis and improves treatment.
This trial tests a quick test to find out which bacteria are causing severe pneumonia in very sick patients. It aims to help doctors choose the right antibiotics faster, which may improve recovery.
This trial uses a rapid test (PCR) to check for bacteria in your lung fluid, so doctors can pick the right antibiotics faster. It's for ICU patients on a breathing machine who may have a lung infection.
This trial is testing a new breath test that can quickly find out if you have a lung infection. It might help get the right treatment faster and reduce the need for more invasive tests.
