Superbug watch: how common are Drug-Resistant gut bacteria in france?
NCT ID NCT02799225
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how often certain gut bacteria (Enterobacteria) are resistant to a powerful group of antibiotics called carbapenems. Researchers tested samples from 287 patients in northwest France to find the rate of these resistant strains. The goal was to understand the problem better, not to test a new treatment.

Who is studied
patients undergoing bacteriological samples as part of routine clinical practice during their hospital stay in one of the 6 participating centres. Patients in whom the results of bacteriological examinations reveal the presence of an Enterobacteria strain with reduced susceptibility to carbapenems will be included in this project

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Patients in whom the results of bacteriological examinations reveal the presence of an Enterobacteria strain with reduced susceptibility to carbapenems * Control : patients ( infected or colonized ) a strain of Enterobacter sensitive to carbapenems immediately isolated after a strain of Enterobacter having decreased susceptibility to carbapenems from the same service and same hospital ( 2 strains susceptible strain with reduced sensitivity). Exclusion Criteria: * Duplicate : same strain to a first strain of reduced sensitivity in isolated the same patient during the study period ( same bacterial species , even after characterization resistance mechanism).
