Overcoming donor variability and risks associated with fecal microbiota transplants through bacteriophage-mediated treatments
1 Jul 2024
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) and fecal virome transplantation (FVT, sterile filtrated donor feces) have been effective in treating recurrent Clostridioides difficile infections, possibly through bacteriophage-mediated modulation of the gut microbiome. However, challenges like donor variability, costly screening, coupled with concerns over pathogen transfer (incl. eukaryotic viruses) with FMT...
