OpenBiome

OpenBiome is a nonprofit organization that provides screened, processed human stool donations for fecal microbiota transplants (FMT). These transplants are used to treat certain conditions like Clostridioides difficile infections, which can cause severe diarrhea. OpenBiome collects stool from healthy donors, carefully screens and processes it to ensure safety, and supplies it to hospitals and clinics. This approach helps restore healthy bacteria in the gut, promoting better digestion and health. By facilitating access to these treatments, OpenBiome aims to improve patient outcomes and advance research in gut microbiome therapies.
