PY - 2016 DA - 2016/01/13 TI - Colonization potential to reconstitute a microbe community in patients detected early after fecal microbe transplant for recurrent C. difficile JO - BMC Microbiology SP - 5 VL - 16 IS - 1 AB - Fecal microbiota transplants (FMT) are an effective treatment for patients with gut microbe dysbiosis suffering from recurrent C. difficile infections. To further understand how FMT reconstitutes the patient’s gut commensal microbiota, we have analyzed the colonization potential of the donor, recipient and recipient post transplant fecal samples using transplantation in gnotobiotic mice.
