Gut microbiota and resistome dynamics in intensive care patients receiving selective digestive tract decontamination

2017-01-25

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Critically ill patients hospitalized in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) are at increased risk of acquiring potentially life-threatening infections with opportunistic pathogens. The gut microbiota of ICU patients forms an important reservoir for these infectious agents. To suppress gut colonization with opportunistic pathogens, a prophylactic antibiotic regimen, termed ‘Selectiv...
