AI Article Synopsis
- Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) successfully treated a patient with recurring Clostridium difficile colitis while also eliminating colonization of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs).
- FMT shows promise not only for C. difficile infections but also for reducing the presence of other harmful pathogens.
- Further research is needed to explore FMT's effectiveness in combating additional virulent organisms beyond just C. difficile.
Article Abstract
We report a case in which fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) utilized for relapsing Clostridium difficile colitis successfully eradicated colonization with several multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs). FMT may have an additive benefit of reducing MDRO carriage and should be further investigated as a potential measure to eradicate additional potentially virulent organisms beyond C. difficile.
