Suppression of Microbial Burden to Reduce Pneumonia in Critical Illness: the SMURF Feasibility Pilot Study

2026-03-09

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p> <bold>Background:</bold> Nasal antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) is a non-antibiotic decolonization strategy with potential to reduce ICU-acquired infections without contributing to antimicrobial resistance. We conducted a feasibility pilot to evaluate implementation of intranasal aPDT in critically ill adults and to generate preliminary estimates of microbiologic and clinica...
