NCCR AntiResist:: New Approaches to Combat Antibiotic-resistant Bacteria
NCCR AntiResist: Mono-center Study to Identify New Approaches to Combat Antibiotic-resistant Bacteria.
About This Trial
This is an explorative, mono-center study including prospectively collected patient samples from the University Hospital of Basel. It is to investigate antimicrobial resistance (AMR) including three clinical manifestations of infectious diseases: urinary tract infection, pneumonia and deep-seated infections. The focus is on four bacteria (E. coli, Klebsiella species, S. aureus, P. aeruginosa) that are part of the high priority list of World Health Organization (WHO). Residual patient samples are analysed for proteomic, metabolomic and transcriptomic analysis, immunocytochemical or fluorescence in-situ hybridisation (FISH) analysis, flow cytometry analysis (FACS) and immunophenotyping and exploration of bacterial properties.

analysis of antimicrobial resistance
In samples from patients infected with one of the focus pathogens (E. coli, Klebsiella species, S. aureus, P. aeruginosa) will be: (i) isolated and pathogenic bacteria characterized; (ii) pathogen in-situ properties at single-cell and bulk average determined; (iii) human metabolites, proteins and cells determined (iv) antibiotic concentration determined (v) bacterial growth monitored Deducted from the data will be: 1. relevant human components and pathogen properties that are common to most patients with similar indication 2. underlying regulatory networks and triggers in pathogen cells and human tissues. Clinical outcomes (survival/mortality) and treatment response (response or failure) will be correlated to the in vitro retrieved host and bacterial data.
