Core Tip Intestinal colonization with multidrug-resistant organisms often precedes bloodstream infection in critically ill adults. Findings from clinical cohorts, microbiome analyses, and biomarker studies indicate that disruption of epithelial barrier integrity and loss of microbiome-mediated colonization resistance may increase the risk of systemic infection. However, most available evidence is observational and remains susceptible to confounding, particularly from antibiotic exposure, illness severity, and intensive care units-related factors. This PRISMA-compliant systematic review brings together mechanistic and clinical evidence, with careful appraisal of study quality, and identifies gut barrier dysfunction as a plausible - though not definitively causal - contributor to antimicrobial resistance-associated infections, highlighting important directions for future research.
