Clearance of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae vs vancomycin-resistant enterococci carriage after faecal microbiota transplant: a prospective comparative …
Summary Background Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) and vancomycin-
resistant enterococci (VRE) carriage are increasing worldwide. Faecal microbiota
transplantation (FMT) appears to be an attractive option for decolonization. This study aimed
to evaluate CRE vs VRE clearance by FMT among carriers. Methods A multi-centre trial was
undertaken on patients with CRE or VRE digestive tract colonization who received FMT
between January 2015 and April 2017. Adult patients with CRE or VRE colonization …
