Gut bacteria capsules take on superbugs in antibiotic patients
NCT ID NCT07496502
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether taking capsules containing healthy gut bacteria could help clear drug-resistant germs (including C. difficile) from the intestines of 42 hospitalized adults who needed at least 7 days of antibiotics. Participants received either the bacteria capsules or a placebo, and researchers checked stool samples 14 days later for the resistant germs. The goal was to see if this approach is safe and effective at reducing these hard-to-treat infections.
