The study is designed as a cross-sectional online-based questionnaire, and it will be distributed among dental interns. Assess the following among dental interns (1) The knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) towards antibiotics and antibiotic resistance; (2) The correlation between their KAP score and where they spend their internship year? (4) Development of the curriculum to provide sufficient training and information about antibiotics and antibiotic resistance.
In this clinical trial, our aim is to assess the effect of auto-FMT (Fecal microbiome transplantation) on the intestinal microbiota, after a course of antibiotics. 30 healthy adults are recruited. All are given a five day course of amoxicillin-clavulanate. The subjects are double blinded and randomized to two groups. Group A is given autologous FMT (auto-FMT) on day 7 (two days after the end of the course of antibiotics) and Group B is given auto-FMT on day 28 (23 days after the end of the course of antibiotics).
In this study, patients who have had previous endoscopic sinus surgery and present with an acute exacerbation of chronic rhinosinusitis will be offered endoscopic-guided, culture-directed antibiotic therapy. They will then be randomized to receive oral or intranasal topical antibiotics. Both of these are considered standard of care, but there is some limited data suggesting superiority of topical antibiotics especially if guided by culture and in patients who have undergone previous surgery. However, a study that directly compares the two has not been published. Modified Lund-Kennedy endoscopic finding scores and subjective SNOT-22 questionnaires will be collected before and at 3-4 weeks after treatment. Medication-related sided effects will be noted and analyzed. After 6-8 month follow-up, we will analyze the rate of recurrence of exacerbations, need for further antibiotics, need for revision surgery, and SNOT-22 scores based on oral versus topical antibiotic treatment. Our objective is to evaluate both short and long-term response to both oral and topical administration of antibiotics in this patient population in order to determine if either route of administration is superior to the other.
