Antibiotic guidance for positive stool test results
Part of 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 trial tests a quick PCR test (a lab test that finds germs) in children with stomach bugs. It aims to see if the test can help doctors diagnose the cause of vomiting, diarrhea, or belly pain faster.
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 trial is studying how the way we handle human samples affects the quality of microbiota (gut bacteria) analysis. It's looking for healthy volunteers to donate samples so researchers can improve lab methods.
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 if analyzing a stool sample can help choose the right antibiotics to clear a stubborn H. pylori infection that hasn't been cured before. It aims to improve treatment success with fewer side effects.
This study tests whether taking a probiotic or postbiotic (beneficial bacteria or their byproducts) during antibiotic treatment helps protect your gut bacteria. Antibiotics can kill helpful bacteria in your digestive system, and this research explores whether supplements might help restore balance.
