NCT ID NCT07345923
First seen Jan 17, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 17 times
Summary
This study looks at whether a rectal swab can predict which intensive care patients will get infections from drug-resistant bacteria. Researchers will test 1,000 adults in French ICUs to see if a negative swab reliably means no infection. The goal is to help doctors avoid unnecessary strong antibiotics.
