About this study

Official title: Impact of Beta-lactams on the Microbiota and Relative Fecal Abundance of Multidrug Resistant Bacteria Ans Its Importance on Infectious Episodes in Hospitalized Patients

The global spread of ESBL-producing enterobacteria (EBLSE) poses a real public health problem. The exposure of patients to antibiotic therapy leads to an increase in resistant bacterial populations within the digestive flora. As a result, the diagnosis of digestive colonization by EBLSE is an event that has become common in hospitalized patients in intensive care / intensive care under high pressure antibiotics. The aim of this work is to study the impact of beta-lactams frequently prescribed on the microbiota and the emergence of multiresistant bacteria in the digestive flora and to evaluate, in colonized patients, the factors associated with the occurrence of an infectious episode. In particular, the impact of the relative fecal abundance of ESBL enterobacteriaceae on the occurrence of this event will be studied.

Read the detailed description

Among enterobacteria, the production of ESBL is the first cause of multi-resistance. The consequences of multidrug-resistant enterobacterial infections predominantly represented by ESBLs are currently well known, both from the individual point of view (increase in mortality and length of hospital stay) and collective (increase in costs of care). Data from the literature reveal an increased risk of ESBL bacteremia in patients with rectal carriage of ESBL-producing enterobacteria. It therefore appears necessary in known patients with ESBL-producing enterobacteria to evaluate the impact of different antibiotics (beta-lactams) on the modification of flora, the increase of faecal abundance in multidrug-resistant bacteria such as E. coli ESBL and evaluate the factors associated with infections in these patients.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Stool culture ans swabDiagnostic test

    Patients with ESBL enterobacteria, antibiotic pressure are patients with ESBL positive result diagnosed by stool culture and a rectal swab.

    The intervention correspond to addition of 4 stool samples (or 4 rectal swabs in the absence of stool emission) and a blood sample.

Study groups in NCT03338738
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Patients with ESBL, antibiotic pressureExperimentalPatients with ESBL, antibiotic pressure will be included. On the day of inclusion, a stool culture is performed on the first stool issued after the start of antibiotic therapy in order to evaluate the initial flora and the relative initial faecal abundance of multidrug-resistant bacteria. In the absence of stool emission by the patient, a rectal swab will be performed. 72 hours after initiation of antibiotic therapy, a blood sample (5 ml) will be taken to determine plasma concentrations of antibiotics. In addition, a stool sample will be taken at 72 hours after the start of antibiotic therapy, at the end of antibiotic therapy and 60 days after this end to evaluate the change in initial flora and relative faecal abundance of ESBL-producing enterobacteria.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Stool culture ans swab in people with Enterobacterial Infection, run by Fondation Hôpital Saint-Joseph at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Jun 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

percentage of EBLSE (time frame: Day 60). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03338738, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Jun 2021.
