The ESCMID Study Group for Host and Microbiota Interactions (ESGHAMI) is leading the way in bridging diagnostics, clinical research, and scientific studies across the relatively new field of microbiota research in Europe. The group seeks to understand the clinical significance of host-microbiota associated diseases and health, and explore relevant therapeutic interventions. Their research covers:
Which trial do we need? A sequential multiple assignment randomized trial to determine the optimal Clostridioides difficile treatment sequence.
