Fecal microbiota transplantation enhances gut microbial diversity and metabolic functional potential in a pediatric allo-HCT recipient with steroid-refractory GvHD

Abstract Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is a promising strategy to restore gut microbial diversity and functional potential after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT). To characterize microbiome and functional changes after FMT in a pediatric HCT recipient with s...
