Uitkomstmaten
Primaire uitkomstmaten
The main study endpoint is finding positive body sites of VIM-positive P. aeruginosa, other than the standard surveillance culture sites.
Achtergrond van het onderzoek
Currently, throat and rectum samples are the standard body sites for surveillance cultures to identify patients with Verona Integron-encoded Metallo-β-lactamase (VIM)-positive Pseudomonas aeruginosa (VIM-PA). Pseudomonas aeruginosa in general favours moist areas. Therefore, it is likely that VIM-PA has the ability to colonize other body sites as well. It is unknown, however, to which extent patients are also culture positive at other body sites, for example the navel, the ears, or between the toes. Inclusion of additional body sites may increase the detection rate.
Doel van het onderzoek
VIM-positive Pseudomonas aeruginosa can be found in other body sites besides throat and rectum, which are currently used as the standard surveillance culture sites.
