Infection Risk Associated With Digestive MDRO Carriage in Hospitalized Patients
Sponsor: Valeriu Gheorghita
Summary
This study aims to evaluate the impact of digestive carriage of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO) on the risk of healthcare-associated infections in hospitalized adult patients. Patients will be screened at admission, weekly, and at discharge, with a 30-day post-discharge follow-up. The findings will support infection prevention and control strategies in Romanian hospitals.
