Nov. 22, 2022
To study how best to treat potentially dangerous infections commonly seen in people with underlying chronic medical conditions, two infectious disease experts at Johns Hopkins Medicine have been awarded $10 million in research funding over five years by the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI).
The award will support a randomized controlled clinical trial at eight U.S. hospitals involving a study population of approximately 1,200 patients with bloodstream infections caused by gram-negative bacteria, such as Escherichia coli.
