| Core Tip |
Asymptomatic colonization of the gastrointestinal tract by extended-spectrum β-lactamase or carbapenamase-producing enterobacterales poses a substantial risk of infections caused by these resistant bacteria. Furthermore, this colonization carries a significant risk of transmitting these organisms to other patients and the broader community. Emerging interventions such as faecal microbiota transplantation, phage therapy, engineered probiotics, and Clustered Regularly Interspersed Short Palindromic Repeats—CRISPR-associated protein systems offer new hope for precise and sustainable decolonization. Additionally, dietary interventions and immune modulation may serve as supportive strategies to enhance the resilience of the host microbiota. However, many of these approaches are still in the nascent stage, and their long-term efficacy, safety, and regulatory approval remain barriers to routine clinical application. |
