About this study

Here, the investigators propose to study host responses to reduced microbiome complexity driven by treatment with broad spectrum antibiotics in patients with severe infections or sepsis. The proposal aims to combine holistic approaches with emerging experimental technologies to investigate the complex interactions between the gut microbiota and its host and assess the impact of specific bacterial communities on longevity and stress responses. A strong focus of this study will also be placed on microbiome dysbiosis and secondary impacts on short- and long-term brain dysfunction using clinical, laboratory and imaging procedures.
