What is Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT)?

Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) is a procedure that involves the transfer of stool from a healthy donor to the gastrointestinal tract of a patient. The primary goal of this procedure is to restore the balance of the intestinal microbiome, which can be disrupted by various factors including antibiotics, diseases, or infections. FMT has garnered attention in recent years for its potential therapeutic benefits beyond its traditional use in treating Clostridioides difficile infection.
