Clinical Study of Fecal Microbiota Transplantation in the Treatment of Antibiotic-associated Diarrhea

August 7, 2023 updated by: Huanlong Qin, Shanghai 10th People's Hospital

To Investigate the Efficacy and Safety of Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) in the Treatment of Antibiotic-associated Diarrhea.

Antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD) refers to the occurrence of other unexplained diarrhea symptoms after the use of antibiotics, often combined with abdominal pain, bloating and bloody stool. Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) is a therapeutic method to transplant the microbiota from the feces of healthy people into the intestinal tract of patients. To explore the overall efficacy and safety of FMT in the treatment of AAD.
