Antibiotic guidance for positive stool test results
Part of Digestive system, Infections clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding easy-to-understand comments to lab reports helps doctors use antibiotics more wisely for certain gut infections. If your stool sample tested positive for one of the listed bacteria, you can participate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 6 months old
- Your stool sample was tested at Awanui Labs from a community provider during the study period
- The test found one of these bacteria: Campylobacter, Shigella/invasive E. coli, Salmonella, Yersinia, or Aeromonas
- Your sample was not tested only for C. diff or H. pylori
- Your sample was not sent for public health clearance testing (like for Salmonella)

This study tests a quick diagnostic test for children with stomach symptoms like diarrhea, vomiting, or belly pain. The test looks for several bugs at once, which might help doctors choose the right treatment faster, but it does not test the treatment itself.
This study looks at how different ways of handling human samples affect the accuracy of gut bacteria analysis. It aims to improve testing methods, which could lead to better diagnosis and treatment for digestive conditions.
This trial studies how your gut germs (microbiome) and gut lining change during a new bout of Campylobacter infection. It may help researchers understand what drives symptoms and how the gut recovers.
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.
This study collects stool samples from healthy adults to see how dairy phages and antibiotics affect gut bacteria. It helps researchers understand how our diet and medicines interact with the microbiome.
This study tests a stool-based treatment (fecal microbiota treatment) to help remove “carbapenem-resistant” bacteria living in the gut. If you carry these bacteria without being sick, the goal is to reduce or stop that colonization.
