Comparative metagenome-associated analysis of gut microbiota and antibiotic resistance genes in acute gastrointestinal injury patients with the risk of in-hospital mortality

Abstract excerpt

ABSTRACT Acute gastrointestinal injury (AGI) is known for its poor long-term prognosis and the associated increase in mortality among intensive care unit (ICU) patients. As the role of the gut microbiome and resistome in AGI remains unclear, the present study aimed to explore the possible associations between dysbacteriosis and in-hospital mortality in ICU patients with gastrointestinal dysfunction. Fecal samples...
