The impact of technical and clinical factors on fecal microbiota transfer outcomes for the treatment of recurrent <i>Clostridioides difficile</i> infections in Germany

Abstract

FMT in Germany is associated with high cure rates at D30 and D90. No specific pre-treatment, preparation or application strategy had an impact on FMT success. Only higher age was identified as an independent risk factor for treatment failure. Based on these and external findings, future studies should focus on the assessment of microbiota and microbiota-associated metabolites as factors determining FMT success.
