NCT ID NCT07094984

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests three ways to remove antibiotic-resistant bacteria from the gut: fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), a high-dose probiotic, or a special diet. 360 adults with confirmed gut colonization will be randomly assigned to one of these groups. The goal is to see if these approaches can clear the superbugs better than standard care, addressing the global threat of antibiotic resistance.

Active substance
fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), probiotic therapy, or a gut-healthy diet
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a new way to clear dangerous superbugs from the gut without antibiotics, helping to slow the spread of antibiotic resistance.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage trial with no phase designation, so results are uncertain. The interventions may not work better than standard care, and FMT carries risks like infection or allergic reaction.
