Trial summary

Nasal colonization with S. aureus is a risk factor for infection with this bacterium. A methodologically well conducted study of S. aureus bacteremia showed that 80% of S. aureus bacteremia with are due to the strain isolated in the nasal level. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Epidemiological Study of Intestinal Colonization With Staphylococcus Aureus in a Cohort of Adult Patients Hospitalized in Intensive Care at the University Hospital of St Etienne.

Nasal colonization with S. aureus is a risk factor for infection with this bacterium. A methodologically well conducted study of S. aureus bacteremia showed that 80% of S. aureus bacteremia with are due to the strain isolated in the nasal level. However, as part of a study coordinated by the CHU of Saint-Etienne, less than 50% of infections in prosthetic orthopedic devices have been linked to nasal carriage . Outside of exogenous infections, intestinal colonization with S. aureus could be an alternative source of endogenous infections with the waning of orthopedic surgery. In the general population, considering that about one third of the subjects were colonized with S. aureus nasal level and 1 in 5 in the intestine However the proportion of exclusive intestinal porting is not well known .

This study will analyze, among ICU patients, porting S. aureus nasal and rectal level. It will better clarify the relationship between nasal and rectal ports and the risk of developing an infection.

Read the detailed description

The adult patients hospitalized in intensive care at the University Hospital of Saint-Etienne have a multiresistant bacteria porting screening at the nose and rectum at admission and then once a week. These samples will be carried unchanged way for the study but will also be a research S Aureus

What is being measured

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

  1. prevalence of S. aureus colonization at rectal level

    The presence of a colony of S. aureus on one of the samples

    Measured: 1 month

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. S. aureus strains similar to nasal and rectal level

    1. aureus strains similar in molecular typing

    Measured: 1 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Staphylococcus Aureus, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Saint Etienne at 1 site in France.

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 23 Mar 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

prevalence of S. aureus colonization at rectal level (time frame: 1 month). 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 23 Mar 2016.
