Digestive bacteria and infection risk in hospitalized patients
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at whether patients in the hospital who carry certain resistant bacteria in their gut are more likely to get infections. The goal is to understand the risk so doctors can better protect you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are currently admitted to one of the participating hospital wards.
- You can sign a form that says you agree to be in the study.

This study looks at bacteria (including antibiotic-resistant germs) present when you are admitted to a hospital. It may help doctors understand how often these germs are carried and how to respond early to prevent spread.
This Phase 2 study tests whether an investigational treatment can help clear or reduce antibiotic-resistant bacteria living in the gut. It may help prevent these germs from causing future infections by targeting specific resistant bacteria found on stool or rectal swabs.
This trial monitors healthcare-associated infections and antibiotic resistance by collecting swabs from the nose and rectum while you are hospitalized. It may help doctors better understand how often these infections happen and how to prevent them.
This study looks at wastewater from a hospital to track antibiotic-resistant bacteria. By analyzing these samples, researchers hope to create an early warning system to improve infection control and protect patients.
This study tests a treatment made from healthy donor stool (called microbiota therapy) given as an enema or through a feeding tube. It aims to help people who carry resistant bacteria that are hard to treat, by reducing or clearing those bacteria from the gut.
This study is for hospital staff in the MDR department. It uses swabs on surfaces and staff to learn how resistant bacteria spread in that ward, which could help protect patients and staff.
