Poop pills vs. superbugs: new hope against Antibiotic-Resistant infections

NCT ID NCT05742074

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested whether transplanting healthy donor stool (fecal microbiota transplantation, or FMT) into the gut could wipe out multidrug-resistant organisms (MROs) in 83 adult carriers. The goal was to prevent future hard-to-treat infections. Participants swallowed capsules containing either donor stool or a placebo, and researchers checked rectal samples for MRO clearance after 8 and 16 weeks.
