Gut check: hospital study tracks superbug carriers to predict infections
NCT ID NCT07134270
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows 400 hospitalized adults to see if carrying multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) in the gut increases the chance of getting an infection during their stay. Researchers will take rectal swabs at admission, weekly, and at discharge, plus a phone call 30 days later. The goal is to help Romanian hospitals better prevent the spread of these hard-to-treat bacteria.
