INFECTION, VIRUS
The human intestinal microbiota is a complex mixture of bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and virus that interact with each other and the host. The microbiota plays a fundamental role in the development of the immune system and defends the host against infection by competitive colonization [Restoration of the microbiota through faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is a recommended treatment for recurrent Replacing donors with autologous faeces circumvents some of these difficulties [The low risk of transmitting pathogens makes capsulized auto-FMT a suitable candidate for prophylactic treatment, but safety data are lacking. The primary aim of this study was to determine the safety and tolerability of oral, capsulized, frozen auto-FMT in healthy volunteers after antibiotic treatment.
