Multidrug-resistant organisms, such as Enterobacterales and vancomycin-resistant enterococci, are found in the gut. These organisms increase morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs.
The gut microbiota plays a role in preventing colonization by these organisms, which can lead to infections. Innovative interventions are being explored, including:
- Fecal microbiota transplantation
- Probiotics
- Phage therapy
- Bacterial consortia
