Fecal transplantation improves outcomes in patients with multi-drug resistant organisms

(Digestive Disease Week) Transferring fecal matter from the digestive systems of healthy donors to extremely ill patients who had previously been infected with drug-resistant bacteria resulted in shorter hospital stays, fewer bloodstream infections and infections that were easier to treat, according to research that was selected for presentation at Digestive Disease Week ® (DDW) 2020. DDW ® data will be published in the May online supplements to Gastroenterology and GIE: Gastrointestinal Endoscopy.
