Washed microbiota transplantation as salvage therapy for antibiotic-resistant Salmonella infection in two pediatric patients.

OBJECTIVES

As antibiotic-resistant Salmonella infections pose a serious therapeutic challenge in children, this case report aims to introduce washed microbiota transplantation (WMT) as a novel salvage therapy.

DESIGN OR

METHODS

Two pediatric patients with Salmonella infection received WMT as salvage therapy after failing antibiotic treatment.

RESULTS

Both patients achieved sustained clinical and microbiological remission.

CONCLUSION

WMT is a promising option for refractory pediatric salmonellosis.
