Article Synopsis
- Patients with cirrhosis often face issues like antibiotic resistance and fungal overgrowth, prompting research into fecal microbial transplant (FMT) as a potential treatment solution.
- A phase 1 clinical trial compared standard care without antibiotics (SOC) to a group receiving antibiotics followed by FMT, revealing that FMT helped restore gut microbial diversity and function after antibiotics disrupted it.
- The trial found that FMT was safe and effectively reversed negative changes in gut microbiota and related functions, while the standard care group showed no improvements.
