Inulin for Infections in the Intensive Care Unit : Prebiotic Inulin to Limit Antimicrobial-Resistant Infections During Critical Illness: A Phase II Clinical Trial

The proposed trial hypothesizes that inulin maintains short-chain fatty acid (SCFA)-producing colonic anaerobes and that these bacteria are protective against multi-drug resistant organism (MDRO) colonization and subsequent MDR infection. Inulin, a vegetable-derived non-digestible polysaccharide is well established as the key nutrient source for SCFA-producing bacteria. Previous human studies have shown that (1) inulin increases levels of SCFA producers and SCFAs and (2) that this increase correlates with improved colonic mucosal integrity and resistance to MDR pathogens. In animal studies, inulin improves survival after pathogen challenge or injection with lipopolysaccharide. The overall aim of this clinical trial is to determine whether inulin improves gut colonization resistance against antibiotic-resistant pathogens and therefore prevents antibiotic-resistant infections in the setting of critical illness. To accomplish this, 90 critically ill adults who are receiving broad-spectrum antibiotics will be blindly randomized 1:1:1 to receive placebo, inulin 8 g twice daily, or inulin 16 g twice daily for a minimum of 7 days, with bedside follow-up extending to 30 days or hospital discharge..
