First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 09, 2026 · Updated 34 times

Summary

This study tests whether a fecal transplant (putting healthy donor stool into the gut) can help clear hard-to-treat, antibiotic-resistant bacteria from the body. About 32 people with infections like MRSA or VRE will receive the transplant along with standard antibiotics. The goal is to see if this approach can eliminate the superbugs and reduce the risk of future infections.
