Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The objective of the study is: (1) to identify the composition and diversity of the intestinal microbiota and the presence of resistant bacteria and resistance genes, before and up to 1 years after antibiotic treatment (2) and to compare the impact of three different antibiotics (ciprofloxacin, pivmecillinam och ceftibuten) on the microbiota. ;Secondary Objective: Not applicable;Primary end point(s): The primary endoint is the diversity and composition of the intestinal microbiota, the prevalence of multi drug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria in screening cultures and the prevalence of antibiotic resistance genes in faeces. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Endpoints will be assessed at repeated time points during the study period: before start of treatment, after completion of treatment, after 7 days and 1, 3, 6 and 12 month after completion of treatment. | — |
