Abstract
Clostridium difficile is an opportunistic organism that causes infection in patients with an alteration in intestinal microbiota. One existing concept for the treatment of C. difficile infection (CDI) that is gaining popularity is bacteriotherapy with fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT). This case series of 18 patients demonstrated a 94% cure rate in the 16 surviving patients. This Recommendation is of an article referenced in an F1000 Faculty Review also written by Andrew W. Dupont, Meera B. Avila and Nathaniel P. Avila.
