Fecal Microbial Transplant (FMT) Research
The human gastrointestinal tract is colonized by a dense population of microbes of bacteria, viruses and microbial eukaryotes and form the communities that are referred as the gut microbiota, which play a pivotal role in maintaining host homeostasis, while the dysbiosis of the gut microbiota would cause a series of health issues including but not limited to gastrointestinal diseases, metabolic disorders, autoimmune disorders, mental disorders, and cancers. In order to attenuate these diseases or decrease the likelihood of suffering from them, various attempts have been developed to target at the gut microbiota and work as potential treatment methods, and fecal microbial transplant (FMT) is a representative and promising therapy to restore a healthy microbiota, which has seen significant effectiveness in treating diseases such as Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) and ulcerative colitis.
Fecal microbial transplant attracts a lot of attention as a possible option for gut microbiota editing in the recent decade, which is the process of transplantation of fecal microbes from a healthy donor into the intestinal tract of a diseased recipient, with the procedure generally falling into the preparation of material, donor selection and screening, and FMT administration. And researcher started to realize that this unique approach is not only effective in treating gastrointestinal diseases but diseases involved with other organs or systems.
