Microbiome modification for personalized treatment of dysbiotic diseases

Cell Host Microbe. 2024 Aug 14;32(8):1219-1224. doi: 10.1016/j.chom.2024.07.023.

Abstract

Fecal microbial transplantation (FMT) for inflammatory diseases or refractory immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy is less effective than for preventing recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection. This commentary outlines strategies to use biomarkers of successful FMT to guide newer approaches to restore microbial homeostasis in individuals with dysbiosis-mediated inflammation.
