Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Incidence of product-related treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs)Day -7 through Day 42
Incidence of serious adverse events (SAEs)Day -7 through Day 42
Change in Bristol Stool Scale (BSS) through the collection of daily patient questionnaires.Day -7 through Day 42]

Evaluate the effect of KB109 on self-report questionnaires including the Bristol Stool Scale, an assessment of stool consistency on a scale from 1 (separate hard lumps, like nuts, hard to pass) through 7 (watery, no solid pieces, entirely liquid)

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
1. Proportion of subjects with a reduction from baseline on Day 28 in the relative abundance of taxa of interest (Enterobacteriaceae, Enterococcus, and C. difficile, individually) as measured by metagenomic sequencing.Day -1 to Day 28
