Study of the Antibiotic-resistance Profile of Enterobacterales Isolated From Rectal Mucosal Buffer of PrEP Subjects

Sponsor: IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria di Bologna

Summary

The importance of the study lies mainly in expanding knowledge of the phenomenon of antibiotic resistance in subjects using PrEP, studying for the first time in this population the resistance phenotype in commensal Enterobacterales of the gastrointestinal tract. The data obtained from this study could pave the way for potential surveillance and awareness programs for the critical and conscious use of antimicrobials in PrEP subjects in order to mitigate the problem of antibiotic resistance, which currently represents a real global challenge.
