A Guide for Ex Vivo Handling and Storage of Stool Samples Intended for Fecal Microbiota Transplantation

Abstract Owing to the growing recognition of the gut microbiota as a main partner of human health, we are expecting that the number of indications for fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) will increase. Thus, there is an urgent need for standardization of the entire process of fecal transplant pro...
