Screening pregnant women for resistant bacteria

This study looks at whether a simple rectal swab test can help predict the risk of developing infections that are resistant to common antibiotics. It focuses on patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) who have already had this swab done as part of their care.

This study looks at whether certain bacteria that carry ESBL enzymes are spreading between people. To join, you would need lab-confirmed evidence that you carry these bacteria based on routine samples taken during usual care.

This study looks at why some healthy people carry resistant bacteria in their gut (called ESBL-producing bacteria). Researchers will collect stool and urine samples and ask about your daily life to find possible risk factors. You won't receive any treatment, but your participation can help scientists understand how to prevent the spread of these bacteria.

This study looks at a faster test to find CPE, a type of bacteria that is resistant to many antibiotics. If you test positive for CPE while in the hospital, your information may be used to help improve how we screen and manage this bacteria.

This study checks pregnant women in their first trimester for infections of the lower genital tract, which might help detect and treat issues early to keep both mother and baby healthy.

This trial tests whether taking a probiotic during pregnancy can improve gut health in women living in areas where gut infections are common. It may help reduce harmful bacteria and related health problems for both you and your baby.
