Not Applicable

Recruiting

• Conditions: Resistance Bacterial

• Registration Number: NCT06322173
• Lead Sponsor: IRCCS Sacro Cuore Don Calabria di Negrar

Brief Summary

This is an experimental study without drug and device, non-profit, on biological samples stored at the Tropica Biobank of the DITM. The aim of the project is to verify the performance of NGS-based assays, which can be used in the field of microbiology. The clinical evaluation investigations of NGS technology will be conducted on an adequate number of clinical blood samples and rectal swabs. The analyzes will be compared with the standard microbiology methods used in the DITM diagnostic routine.
