Controling Intestinal Colonization With Extended Spectrum ß-Lactamase Producing Enterobacteriaceae ESBL-E

Summary

Rapid and rational health-care interventions are of great importance to efficiently combat the emergence of resistant and virulent bacteria. In recent years, spread of ESBL-E on a global level has been observed. For ESBL-E, effective eradication regimens are not yet available. The current study therefore aims to assess a new approach to ESBL-E eradication. To avoid administration of the eradication regimen to patients at low risk of subsequent BSI with ESBL-E, the study population will be restricted to immunocompromised high-risk patients.
