Advances in research of fecal bacteria transplantation in inflammatory bowel disease / 医学研究生学报

ABSTRACT

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic, nonspecific, inflammatory bowel disease that has not been completely elucidated yet. In recent years, the role of gut flora in the pathogenesis and prognosis of IBD has drawn more and more attention. Fecal Bacterial Transplantation (FMT) referred to transplanting healthy human gut flora into the patient's gastrointestinal tract and reconstitutes a functioning gut flora. Many studies have shown that FMT is effective in treatment of IBD. This brings new hope to IBD patients with poor clinical drug treatment. The applications and precautions of FMT in IBD are reviewed.
