Summary

This study looks at the gut bacteria of 86 hospitalized adults to understand why some people get dangerous bloodstream infections from drug-resistant germs while others don't. Researchers will use advanced DNA testing to find protective gut bacteria and track how resistance spreads. The goal is to improve early detection and treatment of these hard-to-treat infections.
