Antibiotic-resistant bacteria in patients’ urine or stools linked to increased risk of drug-resistant sepsis according to : News Medical

The study of 66,000 people showed that the risk of drug-resistant sepsis is highest soon after drug-resistant bacteria have been detected in a patient's urine or stool and that this risk diminishes over time. Carbapenems are often referred to as 'last-resort' drugs because they are some of the few that are effective against the increasing number of drug-resistant bacteria. The researchers say their finding could help doctors diagnose drug-resistant sepsis and inform treatment choices. These drug-resistant bacteria are known as extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae, or EPE. One important drug group for sepsis treatment is called carbapenems.




Also, in studies in animals, they linked higher levels of TMAO to a higher risk for blood clots. The findings are of particular concern in people at high cardiovascular risk, whose increased risk of blood clots may not be overcome by low-dose aspirin. By Will Boggs MD(Reuters Health) - Consuming too much choline, a nutrient sold in over-the-counter dietary supplements, can boost the risk for blood clots, researchers warn. After taking the supplements for up to two months, participants had more than 10-fold increases in blood levels of TMAO. That's because bacteria in the intestines interact with choline to produce a compound that encourages platelets to clump together and form clots.
