About this study

This study aims at determining within a short time (<3h) the susceptibility to clinical isolates of E. coli to the major antibiotics directly from positive blood cultures.

Read the detailed description

The resistance to antibiotic is a concern for the great majority of pathogenic bacteria. The proportion of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is particularly high in hospital settings. The accumulation of resistance mechanisms can lead to multidrug resistance, therapeutic impasses and a subsequent higher mortality of infected patients. The use of antibiotics in humans and animals creates a selection pressure that favors the dissemination of antibiotic resistant strains. It's necessary to optimize antibiotic consumption to limit the spread of these bacteria. It requires both the fast bacterial identification and the fast determination of their resistance profile in order to use narrower-spectrum compounds.

Usually antibiotic susceptibility testing usually takes 18-24 hours. Mass Spectrometry type Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Time-Of-Flight (MALDI-TOF MS) has become a valuable tool in clinical laboratories for pathogen identification. Preliminary data showed that susceptible and resistant bacteria can be differentiated within 1 or 2 hours with a new technology called 'MS-ASTRA' based on a lower global peak intensity in the presence of the antibiotic of interest (at a concentration corresponding to the susceptibility breakpoint defined by the EUCAST) than in its absence. The objective of this study is to evaluate the performances of this new MALDI-TOF MS method on a panel of wild-type and resistant clinical isolates.

This study aims to determine the resistance of Escherichia coli isolates to cefotaxime, piperacillin-tazobactam, amoxicillin and to implement the method to positive blood cultures. Minimal Inhibitory Concentrations will be determined the standard agar dilution method.

Results and full analyze are deliverable within 2 years. The data obtained with the MS-ASTRA technique will be compared with the resistance status of the clinical isolates. The shortest incubation time (1 or 2 hours) that gives the more accurate result will be evaluate.The antibiotic savings that the implementation of this new method could have allowed will be evaluate.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Comparison of antibiotic resistance

    assessed by MALDI-TOF MS with that of the reference method (E-test)

    Measured: Immediate

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Antibiotic savings that could have occurred if the MALDI-TOF MS method was implemented

    comparison between the antibiotherapy received by the infected patients (during the first 48 hours) and the adapted treatment which would have been set up from the premature detection of the resistance.

    Measured: Immediate

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sepsis With Escherichia Coli, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Besancon.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Jul 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Comparison of antibiotic resistance (time frame: Immediate). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Jul 2018.
