Gut fungal dysbiosis correlates with reduced efficacy of fecal microbiota transplantation in Clostridium difficile infection

Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is effective in treating recurrent Clostridium difficile infection (CDI). Here, the authors show that the composition of the gut fungal microbiota of donors and recipients, and especially the abundance of Candida, correlates with FMT outcome in CDI patients.
