Brief Summary
This study, a Randomized controlled trial of Autologous microbiome reconstitution to prevent Colonization by antibiotic rEsistant bacteria (RACE), seeks to investigate the safety, feasibility and the role of autologous fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) for the prevention of antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) through microbiome restoration.

Study Arms (2)
Treatment (autologous fecal microbiota preparation)
EXPERIMENTALParticipants randomized into the treatment arm will receive a single dose of autologous fecal microbiota preparation (auto-FMP) via enema following an infectious episode requiring antibiotics, with follow-up at day 3, 7, 28, and 6 months. Route of Administration: Enema Dosing Regimen: 125mL x 1 dose
Placebo
PLACEBO COMPARATORParticipants randomized to the placebo arm will receive a single dose of placebo FMT via enema following an infectious episode requiring antibiotics, with follow-up at day 3, 7, 28, and 6 months. The placebo enema preparation will be identical in appearance but will not contain human feces to prevent unmasking of the trial arms.
Interventions
FMT is the process by which processed donor microbiota material is transplanted into recipients. The aim is to reconstitute the normal intestinal microbial flora in recipients. In this study, the fecal microbiota preparation will be made from the participant's own stool and processed into an auto-FMP enema formulation.
The placebo enema preparation will be identical in appearance but will not contain human feces to prevent unmasking of the trial arms.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Long-term care residents associated with Boston University-Boston Medical Center nursing home consortium
- Adults (18 years or older)
- \) Infection requiring antimicrobial treatment at the discretion of the treating physician
You may not qualify if:
- Pregnant. Participants of childbearing age will undergo urine pregnancy testing
- Participant or substitute decision maker unable to provide informed consent
- Allergies to following ingredients generally recognized as safe: glycerol and sodium chloride
- Current enrollment in hospice
- Colostomy
- Unable to adhere to protocol requirements
- Any condition that the physician investigators deems unsafe, including other conditions or medications that the investigator determines puts the participant at greater risk from FMT
- Recent travel (last six months) to high risk regions based on the International SOS Medical Risk Rating system
- Recent exposure (last six months) to unsafe drinking water
- Enrollment stool sample will be tested for ARBs and processed into autologous FMT treatment (if of qualifying size). Sample will not be collected if any of the following are true:
- Oral or intravenous antibiotic exposure within the previous 6 weeks of stool collection date (topical antibiotics will be permitted)
- Active gastrointestinal infection at stool collection
- Fever at the time of stool collection
- Currently ill or complaining of any of the following signs or symptoms of illness: fever, diarrhea, blood stools and/or vomiting
- Participants with a history of gastrointestinal (GI) illness within the past 30 days prior to enrollment stool collection, that at the discretion of the site investigator could reasonably be caused by one of the following pathogens: 1) Vibrio spp. 2) Norovirus 3) Rotovirus 4) Adenovirus 5) Shiga toxin
