This trial tests a new rapid blood test (Cobas Eplex) that may help doctors identify the cause of a bloodstream infection faster than standard methods. If you are an adult or child hospitalized for a blood infection, this study could lead to quicker, more targeted treatment.
This study tests a new blood test (Microbio InfectID-BSI) to see how well it detects bacteria and yeast in patients with a possible bloodstream infection. If you are already having a blood culture done, the study will collect extra blood samples at the same time to compare the new test's results.
This study tests a new machine learning method to quickly identify bacteria in the blood using special sample bottles. If you are getting blood cultures done already, this may help get results faster.
This trial is testing a new, faster way to choose the right antibiotic for people with a blood infection caused by Enterobacterales bacteria. The goal is to see if this quick test helps doctors start the most effective treatment sooner.
This trial tests whether reporting antibiotic sensitivity results in under 6 hours helps doctors choose the right β-lactam antibiotic faster for ICU patients with certain bloodstream infections. If you are in the ICU with a Gram-negative infection, your doctors will use a quick test to pick the best treatment.
This trial tests a rapid diagnostic method that identifies the bacteria in your blood more quickly than standard tests. If it works, doctors can pick the right antibiotic sooner.
