Summary

This study tests if a special wipe containing xylitol (a natural sweetener) applied inside the mouth twice a day can reduce bloodstream infections from mouth bacteria in children receiving stem cell transplants. About 419 children aged 4 months to 25 years will participate across three hospitals. The goal is to find a simple, safe way to prevent these serious infections, which currently have no proven prevention method.
