ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is looking at how certain bacteria, called ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae, spread in hospitals and cause infections that patients might get while being treated. The researchers want to understand both the bacteria themselves and the tiny pieces of DNA that help these bacteria spread. This information will help identify where these infections come from and how to prevent them.
To participate in this study, you need to be over 1 year old and have tested positive for these bacteria during routine medical tests at the University Hospital Basle between January 1 and December 31, 2019. If you meet these criteria, you may be eligible to join the study. Participants can expect to contribute to important research that could improve hospital safety and patient care. This study is currently recruiting participants of all genders.
