Eligibility

Recruits 198 Vulnerable patients are included (isVulnerablePopulationSelected = true). Consent must be signed by the patient or may be given by their legal representatives or close relatives. Patients who cannot provide prior informed consent are excluded if there is documented evidence that they have no legal surrogate decision-maker and it appears unlikely they will regain consciousness or sufficient ability to provide delayed informed consent..

Exclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"- Bacterial infection lasting for > 48 hours.\n- Infection in a critically ill cirrhotic patient (ICU admission). In this population, epidemiological surveillance is standard clinical practice.\n- MDR colonization or infection in the last month.\n- Evidence of current locally advanced or metastatic malignancy (patients with hepatocellular carcinoma within the Milan criteria and non-melanocytic skin cancer can be included).\n- Pregnant and/or breast-feeding woman.\n- Patients who cannot provide prior informed consent and when there is documented evidence that the patient has no legal surrogate decision-maker and it appears unlikely that the patient will regain consciousness or sufficient ability to provide delayed informed consent."}
