The Future of FMT: How Fecal Transplants are Evolving to Treat New Conditions


Fecal transplants could prevent 12,000 C.difficile deaths a year, but one person died, so lets wait – July 2019

Fact: 15,000 people are dying each year in US hospitals due to Clostridioides difficile
Fact: Fecal Transplants have been found to prevent at least 80% of Clostridioides difficile deaths
Fact: One person died one year of Fecal Translant (the donor had a deadly infection)
Conclusion: Let 11,999 people die each year until we agree on how to inspect the fecal transplants for infections
