Can poop pills beat superbugs? new trial aims to stop antibiotic resistance
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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- 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.
