Efficacy and Safety of Fecal Microbiota Transplantation in Patients With Intestinal Dysbiosis -A Pilot Study
Overview
In recent years, researches illustrate that multifactorial diseases such as functional gastrointestinal disorders, autoimmune diseases, metabolic, behavioral and neurological diseases are associated with an abnormal microbiome structure-dysbiosis, which means the imbalance of the microbiome community. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), the infusion of faeces from a healthy donor to the gastrointestinal tract of a recipient patient aiming to alter the intestine microbiota, is recommended to be performed in Clostridium difficile infection(CDI) as the most effective therapy. It also being used experimentally in the treatment of the disease states linked to dysbiosis of the intestinal microbiota. However, the efficacy and safety of FMT to treat the dysbiosis-associated diseases is still in its infancy. To further verify the indications above, more data is required to be collected through studies.
