Fecal Microbiota Transplantation

Fecal Microbiota Transplantation in Liver Diseases and Recent Developments

Introduction: The intestine, as an important part of the human gastrointestinal tract, provides a favorable milieu for the growth and development of a diverse and large population (approximately 1000 species) of bacteria. Currently, the presence of a cohesive relationship between intestinal bacteria and the host is being well studied and identified. According to the available scientific evidenc...

TREATMENT OF OBESITY BY IMPROVING THE METABOLISM OF OBESE PEOPLE BY FECAL MICROBIOTA TRANSPLANTATION (FMT) AND FECAL CAPSULES (SYSTEMATIC REVIEW)

Background: Over the past half-century, the prevalence of obesity and related metabolic disorders such as fat disorders, cardiovascular disease, myocardial infarction and stroke have increased dramatically. Various types of organisms, including bacteria, fungi, protozoan, and viruses, have evolved to live in the human gut, called microbiota. Scientists have found that thin people have a balance...

Designing fecal microbiota transplant trials that account for differences in donor stool efficacy.

Fecal microbiota transplantation is a highly effective intervention for patients suffering from recurrent Clostridium difficile, a common hospital-acquired infection. Fecal microbiota transplantation's success as a therapy for C. difficile has inspired interest in performing clinical trials that experiment with fecal microbiota transplantation as a therapy for other conditions like inflammatory...

Loss of Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcus Fecal Dominance in an Organ Transplant Patient With Clostridium difficile Colitis After Fecal Microbiota Transplant

We report the use of fecal microbiota transplantation in a single heart-kidney transplant recipient with recurrent Clostridium difficile, vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) fecal dominance, and recurrent VRE infections. Fecal microbiota transplantation resulted in the reconstruction of a diverse microbiota with (1) reduced relative abundance of C difficile and VRE and (2) positive clinical...

Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (Fecal Transplant) for Adults With Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Evaluation of The Cost Effectiveness of Rifaximin-Á In The Reduction of Recurrence of Overt Hepatic Encephalopathy In Belgium.

effectiveness of fecal microbiota transplantation for the treatment of recurrent Clostridium difficile infection. The aim of this study is to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of fecal microbiota transplantation compared with vancomycin for the treatment of Clostridium difficile infection in Australia. Methods: A Markov model was developed to compare the cost-effectiveness of fecal microbiota tra...
