Microbial Epidemiology and Chlorhexidine Suscebtibily of Oropharyngeal and Intestinal Colonization

In this prospective observational multicenter study we aim to determine the prevalence of oropharyngeal and rectal Gram-negative bacilli colonization in 4 population of hospitalized subjects, and their susceptibility to chlorehexidine. We plan to recruit 300 subjects in surgical wards (100 in orthopedics, 100 in thoracic and vascular, 100 in abdominal surgery) and 100 in the ICU. Secondary endpoints are to determine the incidence of the acquisition of such colonization in a 10-day timeframe; determine the phylogentic characteristics of E. coli isolates; to compare the phylogentic characteristics of oropharyngeal and rectal E. coli isolates; to compare the phylogentic characteristics of colonization and potential E. coli infection isolates; to compare the rectal and oropharyngeal colonization composition; description of oropharyngeal microbiote

About this study

In this prospective multicenter observational study we aim to determine the prevalence of oropharyngeal and rectal Gram-negative bacilli colonization in 4 population of hospitalized subjects, and their susceptibility to chlorehexidine. We plan to recruit 300 subjects in surgical wards (100 in orthopedics, 100 in thoracic and vascular, 100 in abdominal surgery) and 100 in the ICU. Each participant will undego a oropharyngeal swab collection at day 0, day 5 and day 10 (or discharge), and a rectal swab at day 0 and day 10 or hospital discharge. The Gram-negative bacilli colonization will be identified, E. coli isolates will be studied in terms of phylogeny, antimicrobial and chlorhexidine susceptibility. The primary endpoint is to determine the prevalence of oropharyngeal and rectal Gram-negative bacilli colonization. The secondary endpoints are to determine the incidence of the acquisition of such colonization in a 10 days timeframe; to determine the phylogentic characteristics of E. coli isolates; to compare the phylogentic characteristics of oropharyngeal and rectal E. coli isolates; to compare the phylogentic characteristics of colonization and potential E. coli infection isolates; to compare the rectal and oropharyngeal colonization composition; description of oropharyngeal microbiote.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • age > 18 years old

Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. proportion of patients with a gram-negative colonization at admission

    Time frame: day 1

    proportion of patients in whom admission oropahryngeal sample will contain at least one gram-negative bacilli among Haemophilus influenzae, an enterobacteria, or a non-fermenting GNB.

Secondary outcomes

  1. incidence of the acquisition of a oropharyngela or rectal GNB colonization

    Time frame: during hospital stay or 10 days if still hospitalized

    incidence of the acquisition of a oropharyngela or rectal GNB colonization in the 4 populations

  2. comparison of the predominant fecal flora with GNB oropharyngeal colonization

    Time frame: hospital stay or 10 days if still hospitalized

  3. characterization of antimicrobial and chlorhexidine susceptibility of gram-negative isolates from oropharyngeal colonization

    Time frame: hospital stay or 10 days if still hospitalized

  4. phylogenetic and virulence factor content of E. coli oropharyngeal and rectal colonization

    Time frame: hospital stay or 10 days if still hospitalized

  5. comparision of the genetic identity of the dominant E. coli rectal and orpohayrngeal colonization with potential nosocomial infections

    Time frame: hospital stay or 10 days if still hospitalized
