Description
Kate Stoeckle and coauthors follow leukemia patients whose guts carry resistant germs into chemotherapy in 2026. The study enrolls 159 patients getting strong induction therapy with no preventive antibiotics. Stool checks at chemo start sorted patients by germ carriage.
Fifteen patients carried ESBL type germs, and seventeen carried AmpC type germs. Three of the ESBL carriers grew the same germ in blood during low white cell counts. Just one non carrier did so, a stark gap. AmpC carriage showed no such risk lift. Gut screening may flag who needs closer watch or tailored cover.
