Cultivation and Genomics Prove Long-Term Colonization of Donor’s Bifidobacteria in Recurrent Clostridioides difficile Patients Treated With Fecal Microbiota Transplantation

Cultivation and Genomics Prove Long-Term Colonization of Donor’s Bifidobacteria in Recurrent Clostridioides difficile Patients Treated With Fecal Microbiota Transplantation

Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is an effective treatment for recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection (rCDI) and it’s also considered for treating other indications. Metagenomic studies have indicated that commensal donor bacteria may colonize FMT recipients, but cultivation has not been...
