High engraftment capacity of frozen ready-to-use human fecal microbiota transplants assessed in germ-free mice

Abstract The number of indications for fecal microbiota transplantation is expected to rise, thus increasing the needs for production of readily available frozen or freeze-dried transplants. Using shotgun metagenomics, we investigated the capacity of two novel human fecal microbiota transplants prep...
