Official title
A Randomized Controlled Trial to Further Microbiota Therapy for Antibiotic-Resistant Bacterial Colonization.
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The purpose of this study is to better understand the effectiveness and safety of microbiome therapies (MT) as a treatment for patients with Multidrug Resistant Organism (MDRO) colonization after an infection. Limited data from prior studies suggest that MT may be an effective treatment to reduce intestinal MDRO colonization Although shedding of MDROs from patients to their surrounding environment is a recognized pathway of transmission, the potential effect of MT on the transmission of MDRO to other patients in the hospital environment is unclear. This study will test the safety and efficacy of MT for this use in hospitalized patients. This study will also help design larger studies. The MT may help reduce MDROs that colonize the gut. By reducing colonization before infections happen, this could help doctors avoid using "last resort" antibiotics that can have serious side effects like kidney damage. The reduction in MDROs after MT was originally identified in patients treated with MT for recurrent Clostridioides difficile (often called "C. diff") diarrhea. It has been shown that a type of MT called fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) can eliminate both C. difficile and other resistant bacteria.
