Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- successful decolonization of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae or vancomycin-resistant Enterococci in the gut within 3 months after fecal microbiota transplantation [within 3 months]
Successful decolonization of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae or vancomycin-resistant Enterococci was defined as three consecutive, carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae or vancomycin-resistant Enterococci-negative surveillance rectal swab cultures repeated with a 3-day interval within 3 months after fecal microbiota transplantation
