Penicillin allergy labels may fuel superbugs, study warns
NCT ID NCT07177690
First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 32 times
Summary
This study looks at how having a penicillin allergy label affects treatment and antibiotic resistance in patients hospitalized with COVID-19. Many people labeled as allergic to penicillin are not truly allergic, leading to use of less effective antibiotics that can increase drug-resistant bacteria. Researchers will compare outcomes and measure resistance genes in saliva and gut samples from 214 adults. The goal is to understand if removing incorrect allergy labels can reduce resistance and improve patient outcomes.
