U.S., March 31 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07499505) titled 'Hospital Effluents: a Health Monitoring Tool in the Era of Multi-resistance' on March 24.
Brief Summary: Bacterial antibiotic resistance (AMR) is at the heart of public health concerns, with multi- and highly antibiotic-resistant bacteria (MDRO) responsible for difficult-to-treat infections. These bacteria include extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-E) and carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (EPC).
