Long-term impact of fecal transplantation in healthy volunteers

Abstract: Background: Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is now approved for the treatment of refractory recurrent clostridial colitis, but a number of studies are ongoing in inflammatory bowel diseases, i.e., Crohn's disease, nonspecific ulcerative colitis, and in other autoimmune conditions. In most cases, the effects of FMT are evaluated on patients with initially altered microbiota. The aim of the present study was to evaluate effects of FMT on the gut microbiota composition in healthy volunteers and to track lo… Show more

“…2, however the various researchers of this discipline, give the alteration of the intestinal microbiome a primary role on the state of health or disease of patients [12]. Starting from these assumptions, the use of faeces transplantation containing particular microbial strains, to rebalance and correct intestinal dysbiosis, is even postulated [13][14][15]. This method has been the subject of many ethical and scientific criticisms.…”

“…Microbial fecal transplantation is preferable in this case, which has proven effect in treating pseudomembranous colitis, ulcerative colitis, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease and other diseases. 6,[21][22][23] Efforts are also under way to create artificial microbiota by administering various donor strains isolated from the intestines of healthy donors, 23,24 as well as autologous strains or consortia grown from the patient's own fecal samples collected before onset of the disease and its treatment. 1 Switch from proteolytic to saccharolytic fermentation could be of major interest for the prevention and/or treatment of metabolic diseases.…”
