FMT

Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is a promising treatment for microbiota dysbiosis associated diseases, such as Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The engraftment of donor bacteria is essential for the effectiveness of FMT, which to some exten …

Fecal microbiota transplantation is the infusion of specially prepared stool from a healthy donor into the gut of a recipient to restore a healthy microbial community

Storing your stools when you are young may help you later in life

Although we found that FMT was positively associated with several outcomes, caution should be exercised in choosing this approach, given the insufficient number of primary studies, low methodological quality, and low quality of evidence. Further high-quality randomized controlled trials with long-te …

A new proof-of-principle study reveals that supplementing low-fermentable fiber following fecal microbiota transplantation may improve insulin sensitivity in individuals with severe obesity.

Scientists have published a new review focusing on the relationship between PD and gut microbiota.

Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) is an autoimmune-mediated disease characterized by reduced or absolute lack of insulin secretion and often associated with a range of vascular and neurological complications, for which there is a lack of effective treatment other than lifestyle interventions and pharmacological treatments such as insulin injections. Studies have shown that the gut microbiota is involved in mediating the onset and development of many fecal and extrafecal diseases, including autoimmune type 1 diabetes. In recent years, many cases of gut microbiota transplantation for intra- and extra-fecal diseases have been reported worldwide, and this approach has been shown safe and effective. Here, we conducted an experimental treatment study in two adolescent patients diagnosed with autoimmune type 1 diabetes for one year. Patients received two to three normal fecal microbiota transplants (FMT) and were followed for 30 weeks. Clinical outcomes were measured, including biochemical indices, medication regimen, and dosage adjustment. Fecal microbiota macrogenomic sequencing after transplantation provides a reference for more reasonable and effective microbiota transplantation protocols to treat autoimmune type 1 diabetes. Our results suggest that FMT is an effective treatment for autoimmune type 1 diabetes.

Research found fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) to be an optimal cost-effective treatment strategy for first and subsequent recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI), challenging current guidelines.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) affects about 12% of the global population. Although IBS does not develop into a serious disease or increase mortality, it results in a considerable reduction in the quality of life. The etiology of IBS is not known, but the intestinal microbiota appears to play a pivo …

This study shows that colonic enteroendocrine cells densities significantly change in responders group that received donor-FMT. The mechanisms for the cross talks between gut microbiota and colonic enteroendocrine cells remain to be investigated.

The microbiome of the human gut and liver coexists by influencing the health and disease state of each system. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has recently emerged as a potential treatment for conditions associated with cirrhosis, such as hepatic encephalopathy and recurrent/refractory Clo …

Fecal transplants can fix gut diseases, but finding the right donor stool is tricky. The solution, some scientists believe, is to keep a store of your own.

Fascinating concept to seriously consider (tho vague doping risk) Elites could store their own sample at peak fitness to someday recover from chronic illness/fatigue (or donate to others who are ill as the science improves for filtering/pair-matching) #FMT https://t.co/VrA4A0YVAu— Crazie Daizee (@Crazie_Daizee) July 9, 2022

Vedanta Biosciences will use its new manufacturing facility to make bacteria-filled pills that heal the gut microbiome without the need for stool donors

Stool or faecal microbial transplant (FMT) has helped contain infections in bone marrow transplant patients and even restore good gut bacteria, says Dr Parikshit Prayag, infectious disease consultant and in-charge of the Centre of Excellence in Infectious Diseases at Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital, Pune.

Nature Reviews Gastroenterology & Hepatology - ‘Dark matter’ beyond the bacteria in faecal microbiota transplantation

Researchers are going beyond fecal samples to understand how the patterns of commensal microbes in the gastrointestinal tract influence development and health.
