Fecal microbial transplants show lack of predictability when no prior antibiotic treatment is given to recipient PLOSONE
However, fecal microbial transplants have also been given to alter a recipient's metabolism to reduce obesity or alter immunity to fight cancer, and in those transplants recipients are not given suppressive antibiotics to eliminate the microbial community prior to the transplant. In these cases, the initial gut community after transplant is a consortium of
"The practical translation of our analysis suggests the use of pre-fecal microbial transplant treatments to reduce recipient microbial communities to facilitate a donor microbial strain-dominated gut microbial community following fecal microbial transplant," said UAB researchers Hyunmin Koo, Ph.D., and Casey Morrow, Ph.D.
The Davar group gave fecal microbial transplants from patients who responded to anti-PD-1 immunotherapy for melanoma to recipient patients who were resistant to the immunotherapy, since it had been seen that the composition of the gut microbiota correlates with efficacy of anti-PD-1 therapy in animal models andKoo and Morrow analyzed five fecal microbial transplants by the Davar group where the recipient microflora was sampled multiple times for as long as 535 days post-fecal microbial...
