FMT and microbiome research could have widespread impact | LHSC
There is still much to learn about the human microbiome and its role in fighting disease, but ongoing studies at Lawson Health Research Institute, including a focus on fecal microbial transplants (FMT), are making strides in harnessing this comple
Role of Fecal Microbiota Transplantation in Reducing Clostridioides difficile Infection-Associated Morbidity and Mortality: A Systematic Review - PubMed
Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile) is a gram-positive, anaerobic, spore-forming bacterium that produces toxins A and B, disrupting the intestinal brush border and resulting in severe diarrhea. The most common causes of infection include prolonged antibiotic use, proton pump inhibitors (P …

The effect of fecal microbiota transplantation on stroke outcomes: A systematic review
Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is a novel microbiota-based therapeutic method that transfers stool from donor into a recipient and its applica…
A case report of improvement on ADHD symptoms after fecal microbiota transplantation with gut microbiome profiling pre- and post-procedure - PubMed
Our case report provides preliminary evidence regarding the use of FMT in a patient with Clostridioides difficile and ADHD. We speculate that gut microbiome modulation, in particular the gain or loss of specific microbial species and pathways involving the metabolism of SCFAs, tryptophan and …
Immunological mechanisms of fecal microbiota transplantation in recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection - PubMed
Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is a successful method for treating recurrent Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile) infection (rCDI) with around 90% efficacy. Due to the relative simplicity of this approach, it is being widely used and currently, thousands of patients have bee …
Manufacturing Process of SER-109, a Purified Investigational Microbiome Therapeutic, Reduces Risk of Coronavirus Transmission From Donor Stool - PubMed
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) may present risk to patients treated with donor-derived microbiome therapies when appropriate manufacturing controls and inactivation processes are lacking. We report that the manufacturing steps for SER-109, a purified investigational mic …

All roads lead to the gut–brain microbiome network
“The whole is something besides the parts”, wrote the Greek philosopher Aristotle
more than 2000 years ago. Author and gastroenterologist Emeran Mayer (Ronald Reagan
UCLA Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA, USA), gives us a renewed appreciation of this
phrase in the context of our understanding of the body and the brain. In The Gut-Immune
Connection, Mayer takes us back to a holistic way of thinking that accounts for the
full complexity of the interconnection between our gut, our mind, and the trillions
of microbes that live in our gastrointestinal tract.

Gut microbiota – a double-edged sword in cancer immunotherapy
Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has revolutionized cancer treatment. However, many
patients fail to respond to this therapy or experience side effects. Recently, gut
microbiota have emerged as a key determinant of ICB efficacy and toxicity, making
manipulation of the microbiome a novel therapeutic strategy with which to improve
ICB outcomes.

Update on gut microbiota in gastrointestinal diseases
The human gut is a complex microbial ecosystem comprising approximately 100 trillion microbes collectively known as the "gut microbiota". At a rough estimate, the human gut microbiome contains almost 3.3 million genes, which are about 150 times more than the total human genes present in the human ge …

New Procedure to Maintain Fecal Microbiota in a Dry Matrix Ready to Encapsulate
Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is one of the recommended treatments for recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection, but endoscopy and available oral formulations still have several limitations in their preparation, storage, and administration. The need for a viable oral formulation that facilitates the implementation of this highly effective therapy in different settings has led us to test the microcrystalline cellulose particles as an adsorbent of concentrated filtered fresh feces in comparison to lyophilized feces. This free-flowing material can provide protection to bacteria and results in a dried product able to maintain the viability of the microbiota for a long time. Adsorbate formulation showed a stabilizing effect in gut microbiota, maintaining bacteria viability and preserving its diversity, and is a competitive option for lyophilized capsules.
Oral capsule and colonic administration both demonstrate similar advantages for C. difficile infection
