Gram-negative bloodstream infections (BSIs) represent a significant complication facing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (allo-HCT) recipients, as a result of intestinal translocation during neutropenia. In this study we sought to better understand how the composition of the intestinal microbiota is connected to risk of gram-negative BSIs, expanding on our prior work in these patients.
