Study Overview

Brief Summary

ICU patient's complications are notably due to multiple infections with high risks of sepsis. Those infections would be worsened by any antibiotic resistance mechanism. Thus, reducing MDR portage in health care unit is a global strategy that will benefit for the patients and the health system organization. Fecal Microbiota transfer and restoration is a promising strategy to achieve this purpose.
