Decolonisation of a multi-drug-resistant Escherichia coli and a vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium after intervention with faecal microbiota transplantation

In this study, we report a case of decolonisation of a multi-drug-resistant extended spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli, and a vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium after intervention with capsulated faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT). Following eradication, our patient acquired an extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae, which was subsequently eliminated after a second round of FMT capsules. Additionally, we report the detection of six distinct carbapenemase-producing organisms in this patient, who was evacuated from the war in Ukraine.
