NCT06258551

Brief Summary

The goal of this observational study is to investigate how bacterial populations from the intestine and mouth of patients change during the hospitalization period and evaluate if some populations of specific bacteria increase or decrease the risk of acquiring an infection or becoming colonized by pathogenic bacteria. Participants will have the following samples collected during enrollment: stool samples (maximum 2x/week), blood draws (1x/week), oral swab (1x/week).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Impact of Colonization on Clinical Outcomes Using DOOR Analysis

    A desirability of outcome ranking (DOOR) algorithm will be used to analyze the impact of colonization by any target organism (CRE/ESBL-E, VRE, or C. difficile) on 30 day clinical outcomes. DOOR outcomes will be ranked as follows: 1) alive without infection, 2) alive with infection, or 3) dead.

    30 days

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Additional Clinical Predictors of Negative Outcomes

    30 days

Study Arms (2)

Intensive Care Unit

Patients admitted to an intensive care unit (No interventions administered)

Bone Marrow Transplant Unit

Patients admitted to a cancer treatment center for allogeneic stem cell transplantation (No interventions administered)

Data Sharing

IPD Sharing
Will share

Data generated by the DYNAMITE projects and Functional Genomics Core will be made available to the public through presentations at scientific meetings, peer-reviewed journal publications and articles, and/or direct sharing or deposit of data into publicly accessible databases. All banked bacterial specimens (both infecting and colonizing isolates) will be made available. Single bacterial whole genome sequencing data will be submitted to the Short Read Archive (SRA) at NCBI for unassembled data, as well as GenBank for assembled data.16S and shotgun metagenomic data will be submitted to the SRA following host sequence removal, and assembled 16S amplicons will be submitted to GenBank. Proteomic raw MS data will be submitted to the Proteomics Identifications (PRIDE) Archive. Metabolomics raw MS data will be submitted to the National Metabolomics Data Repository (NMDR). All custom bioinformatics pipelines, tools, and analytical scripts will be made available in a GitHub repository.

Time Frame
Proteomic and metabolomic data will be uploaded to their respective platforms prior to any manuscript submission to peer-reviewed journals and keys to the data will be provided to reviewers. Publication of the data in these repositories, as well as genomic sequencing data and bacterial specimens, will be made publicly available upon publication of results.
