Faecal microbiota transplantation from patients with depression or healthy individuals into rats modulates mood-related behaviour

Abstract Differences in gut microbiota composition have been observed in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) compared to healthy individuals. Here, we investigated if faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) from patients with MDD into rats could induce a depressive-like phenotype. We perfo...
