First seen Jan 07, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 18 times
Summary
This study tests whether fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) — transferring healthy donor stool into the gut — can reduce deaths in ventilated ICU patients with multidrug-resistant lung infections. The idea is that restoring gut bacteria may help fight lung infections through the gut-lung connection. About 60 adults will receive either standard care or standard care plus FMT via a feeding tube, and researchers will track survival at 28 days.
