A11 EFFECT OF FECAL MICROBIAL TRANSPLANT ON MICROBIAL AND PHAGE COMPOSITION IN PATIENTS WITH CLOSTRIDIUM DIFFICILE INFECTION

摘要

BackgroundThe gut microbiome contains a diverse bacteriophage community that plays a largely unknown role in shaping microbial colonization and disease pathogenesis. Fecal microbial transplantation (FMT) is the most effective therapy for recurrent Clostridium difficile infection (RCDI) and has been shown to transfer phages along with gut microbes.
