Summary
This study looks at how the gut microbiome influences the risk of blood infections (bacteremia) in adults hospitalized with COVID-19. Researchers will analyze stool samples from 86 patients in intensive care and internal medicine units using advanced genetic sequencing. The goal is to understand why some people develop dangerous antibiotic-resistant infections and how to better detect and prevent them.
