Faecal microbiota transplantation

Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is a medical procedure that involves transferring healthy bacteria from a donor’s stool into a patient's gut. This is done to restore the balance of bacteria in the intestines, especially when it has been disrupted by illness or antibiotics. The goal is to reintroduce beneficial microorganisms to help improve digestion and fight infections, such as recurrent Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile) infection. The process is carefully controlled and performed under medical supervision to promote gut health and recovery.
