Fecal Microbiota Transplantation: A New Therapeutic Attempt from the Gut to the Brain

Gut dysbacteriosis is closely related to various intestinal and extraintestinal diseases. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is a biological therapy that entails transferring the gut microbiota from healthy individuals to patients in order to reconstruct the intestinal microflora in the latter. It has been proved to be an effective treatment for recurrent Clostridium difficile infection. Studies show that […]

Faecal Transplantation, Pro- and Prebiotics in Parkinson’s Disease; Hope or Hype?

. Faecal microbiome transplantation (FMT) is an attractive technique, because the administration is relatively simpleand in general has a mild adverse effect pattern. Moreover, FMT consists of a broad mixture, which could be beneficial,because at this moment it is not known what type of changes in the microbiome are needed. However, except from a fewcases

Fecal transplants as a microbiome-based therapeutic

Impaired microbiome diversity and composition can develop into a potent etiological agent of disease and increase susceptibility to infection. Given this, interventions targeting the microbiome have developed rapidly, with healthy donor feces being a de facto source of beneficial communities employed to rebalance patients’ microbiomes. Recent evidence has demonstrated that bacterial and viral richness, short
