Overview
Multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (MDR-KP) infections account for 10% of all nosocomial infections, and even with effective antibiotics, the mortality rate is as high as 50%. Intestinal bacteria transplantation can not only treat intestinal diseases, but also inhibit the colonization and proliferation of drug-resistant bacteria. This study explored the therapeutic value of fecal microbiota transplantation in patients with MDR-KP pneumonia.
Description
Intervention study (controlled clinical study) : patients with multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae pneumonia were randomly assigned to the experimental group (conventional antibiotic treatment + fecal microbiota transplantation) and the control group (conventional antibiotic treatment); The clinical symptoms, inflammatory indexes, immune indexes, intestinal microecology, respiratory microecology and antibiotic resistance gene changes were compared between the two groups.
Eligibility
