ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is looking into infections caused by Campylobacter bacteria, which are usually known for causing digestive issues but can also lead to serious bone and joint infections. Researchers want to understand how these infections occur and how best to treat them, as there isn’t a standard approach currently available. The study is focused on patients who have been diagnosed with various types of bone and joint infections linked to Campylobacter between January 2013 and December 2022.
To participate in this study, you need to be at least 18 years old and have a confirmed Campylobacter-related bone or joint infection, such as septic arthritis or osteomyelitis. If you join, you can expect to share your medical history and may undergo tests to confirm your infection. This research is important because it aims to improve the understanding and treatment of these infections, which can be difficult to manage due to the bacteria's ability to resist some antibiotics. The study is currently recruiting participants of all genders.
