Abstract

Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) involves the transfer of consortia of bacteria from healthy individuals to patients with Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) or other conditions to promote recolonization with missing components of intestinal flora. FMT dates as far back as 4th-century China when human fecal suspensions were used to treat food poisoning and severe diarrhea and has been used in veterinary medicine to treat ruminal disorders at least as far back as the 17th century.
