Intestinal Microbiota Determines the Risk of MDRO Acquisition

Colonization and infection by multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO) remains a public health problem. This is particularly important in intensive care units (ICUs) where the risk of MDRO acquisition/colonization results from the selective pressure associated with prolonged broad-spectrum antibiotic treatment. More...
