Risk factors for carrying resistant gut bacteria in the community
Part of Infections clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years of age or older.
- You must have lived in one of the study areas for at least 1 year.
- You must be living in the community (not staying in a hospital).
- You can provide samples (stool and urine) and agree to participate.
- You have not been hospitalized or taken antibiotics in the last 6 months.
- You have not had cancer treatment, immunotherapy, or immunosuppressive therapy in the last 6 months.

This study looks at new ways to fight antibiotic-resistant bacteria in people with certain common infections. It may help by testing approaches tailored to the specific germs found in your urine, lungs, or deeper infections.
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 Phase 3 study tests whether a fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) can eliminate hard-to-treat bacteria in the gut, such as ESBL or carbapenem-resistant bacteria. If it works, it may reduce future infections and antibiotic-resistant illness.
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 study looks at patients with blood cancers who may carry bacteria that are resistant to many antibiotics. It aims to find which patients are more likely to get sick from these bacteria, so doctors can better protect them.
This study looks at how a common gut bacterium (E. coli) naturally changes over time in healthy adults. It may help scientists understand how healthy gut bacteria behave and evolve.
