Comparing antibiotics for gut bacteria in children
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system, Infections clinical trials.
This study compares three different antibiotics to treat small intestine bacterial overgrowth (an overgrowth of bacteria in the gut) in children in Bangladesh. It aims to find which antibiotic works best.

- Your child does not have any chronic illness or developmental delay.

This trial tests whether a combination of medicines works better than a single medicine to treat common intestinal worms (like hookworm and roundworm) in young children in Bangladesh. It is for children who are either stunted (shorter than average for their age) or healthy, and who have a confirmed worm infection.
This study tests how well a recommended treatment works for children aged 6 months to 5 years who have diarrhea caused by Shigella bacteria. It aims to find the best way to help children recover faster.
This study compares gut bacteria (microbiome) in toddlers who take an antibiotic to prevent urine infections for vesicoureteral reflux, versus other similar children. It may help researchers understand how long-term antibiotic use and reflux affect gut health and future risk.
This trial compares two treatments for SIBO, a condition that causes bloating and diarrhea due to too much bacteria in the small intestine. One treatment is a probiotic (a beneficial yeast) and the other is an antibiotic. The goal is to see which one works better.
This early study tests whether fecal microbiota transplant (a stool donation placed into the gut) is safe and practical for children with small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). It may help reduce SIBO symptoms, but the main goal is to see if the treatment and study steps work well.
This trial tests whether a probiotic (Bifidobacterium breve PRL2020) can reduce antibiotic-related side effects like diarrhea and stomach upset in children aged 3 to 12 years taking amoxicillin or amoxicillin/clavulanic acid. If effective, it may help children feel better while on antibiotics.
