Studying antibiotic resistance in nursing home residents
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial looks at antibiotic resistance by testing wastewater in nursing homes. It aims to understand how resistance spreads and how to better protect residents.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You live in a nursing home selected for the study.
- You are present on the day they take samples.
- You can understand the study and agree to join, or you have a family member or legal guardian who can agree for you.
- Your health on that day is stable enough to participate (not in end-of-life comfort care).
