Mechanisms underpinning the efficacy of faecal microbiota transplantation in treating gastrointestinal disease 2020-09-03 .txt text/plain 6842 359 38 Faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is currently a recommended therapy for recurrent/ refractory Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI). Faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is currently a recommended therapy for recurrent/ refractory Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI). Rodent studies supported the concept that restoration of bacterial bile-metabolising capacity to the gut microbiota was protective against CDI, 39 prompting interest into whether this could also be a mechanism of efficacy of FMT. difficile; administration of an FXR agonist in a mouse model of colitis resulted in significantly reduced colonic inflammation and a more intact intestinal barrier, 44 while microbially mediated production of particular secondary bile acids exhibit anti-inflammatory effects on intestinal epithelial cells 45 and have been recently recognised as promoting generation of peripheral regulatory T cells.
