Bowel colonization with anti-microbial resistant bacteria increases the risk of clinical infections. Infections caused by anti-microbial resistant bacteria have been associated with increased mortality, prolonged hospital stay, and increased costs. In addition, with the emergence of carbapenemase resistant bacterial species, there may not be any effective therapy for patients infected with such resistant species.
Bowel colonization with anti-microbial resistant bacteria is an established risk factor for infections due to resistant bacteria, especially in transplanted patients and in intensive care unit. In this study we will study whether bowel colonisation in Acute on Chronic Liver Failure patient increases the risk of infection development in extra intestinal sites.

| Day 28 |
| Fecal carriage rates of C. difficile among hospitalized ACLF patients. | Day 28 |
| Correlation of fecal carriage of resistant bacterial species with antibiotic exposure antibiotic type and duration | Day 28 |
| Concordance of bowel colonizing resistant bacterial species, with concurrent or subsequent infecting bacterial isolates from extra-intestinal sites | Stool culture sensitivity organism concordance will be checked with culture organism from other sites like blood, urine, ascitic, pleural, skin. | Day 28 |
| Factors predisposing patients colonized with resistant bacterial species to develop extra-intestinal infectious events due to the same species | Factors will be assessed like previous hospitalisation, days of hospital stay, severity of disease, number and type and dosage of antibiotics usage in previous hospitalisation and current hospital stay, other symptom localisation of extraintestinal sites like lung infection, abdominal infection, urine infection, skin infection | Day 28 |
| Timeline of bowel colonization with resistant bacterial species among hospitalized ACLF patients | Day 28 |
| Correlation of the fecal carriage rates of resistant bacterial species with etiology and severity of ACLF, including onset and resolution of organ failure (OF). | Day 28 |
| Correlation of fecal carriage resistant bacterial species with patient outcomes (admission duration or survival duration, short-term survival to discharge, readmission rates, and 30-day survival | Day 28 |
