Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is effective in enhancing the gut microbiota of patients experiencing a high range of disease states, including Clostridioides difficile (C. diff) infection, Crohn’s disease, and ulcerative...

- Curator reviewed
WMT delivers a precise dose of enriched microbiota through intraperitoneal injection, oral capsule, nasogastric tube, nasojeunal tube, or anal enema. The transplantation of the materials within the WMT is thought to recolonize the gut bacteria and aid in treating patient pathology associated with disease like Crohn’s, and ulcerative colitis. WMT is being investigated as a rescue therapy for critically ill patients with COVID-19.
