Happy (and proud) to share EarlyFMT is now published in @Lancetgashep! #FMT after vancomycin outperforms vancomycin alone for 1st or 2nd #Cdiff infection! 90% FMT vs 33% vancomycin alone. Our thoughts behind the trial journey that started 5 years ago? thelancet.com/journals/langa…

Our Consensus statement on #microbiome testing in clinical practice is out in @LancetGastroHep! authors.elsevier.com/a/1kDP5… Here we recommend how to standardise the framework for test release (indications, pre-testing protocols, sequencing & analysis, result reporting). A thread🧵⬇️

My favourite paper published in @AGA_Gastro in 2023 is shorturl.at/uBDJN Raygoza and colleagues show for the first time that changes in the gut microbiota precede Crohn's disease onset by up to five years , supporting a causal role of gut microbiome alterations in IBD.

Maybe it’s time to reconsider that a “FMT treatment” is not just a single administration, but rather a treatment sequence of multiple administrations?
#UEGWeek #UEGWeek2023 @marcellofiorani has presented our results of #FMT in a large cohort of patients with severe CDI. Sequential is better! #microbiomeclinicians

In all my years of #FMT practice, I have never had a situation where I regretted having performed an FMT, ...but there are still individual cases where I do regret not having performed an FMT earlier!

4/5 When we repeated the FMT, we observed the following outcomes: ... indicating that if FMT does not work initially, then it could be repeated with good effect.

5/5 In the final analysis, a successful treatment outcome was associated with: · The donor used, · The age of the patient, and · The use of non-CDI antibiotic post FMT. Which are factors that may be anticipated if the effect is stabilise.
