First seen Feb 02, 2026 · Last updated May 03, 2026 · Updated 15 times

Summary

This study looks at why a common gut bacterium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, becomes deadly in critically ill patients. Researchers will collect stool samples from 100 ICU patients to see how the gut environment triggers the bacteria to turn on their virulence genes. The goal is to understand the process, not to test a treatment. This is an observational study only.
