ICU antibiotic study reveals resistance risks
NCT ID NCT05171257
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study examined whether giving ICU patients the same antibiotic they had before, versus a different one, affects the development of drug-resistant bacteria. Researchers looked at 197 adults with Gram-negative infections. The goal was to understand how antibiotic choice impacts resistance, not to test a new treatment.
