Health improvements of type 2 diabetic patients through diet and diet plus fecal microbiota transplantation

Lili Su et al.

Summary: Type 2 diabetes is linked to gut microbiota dysbiosis, and dietary interventions and fecal microbiota transplantation show potential in improving the health of patients with type 2 diabetes. FMT has a quicker impact on the gut microbiota compared to diet. Beneficial bacteria such as Bifidobacterium increase and are negatively correlated with blood glucose, blood pressure, blood lipid, and BMI, while sulfate-reducing bacteria, Bilophila, and Desulfovibrio decrease and are positively correlated with blood glucose indices.

Microbiota engraftment after faecal microbiota transplantation in obese subjects with type 2 diabetes: a 24-week, double-blind, randomised controlled trial

Siew C. Ng et al.

Summary: Repeated FMTs enhance microbiota engraftment in obese patients with T2DM, leading to more favorable changes in recipients' microbiota and improvement in lipid profile and liver stiffness when combined with lifestyle intervention.

Adverse events of intestinal microbiota transplantation in randomized controlled trials: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Chong Chen et al.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the safety of intestinal microbiota transplantation (IMT). The results showed no significant increase in the incidence of serious adverse events and common adverse events with IMT. However, the delivery methods may affect the occurrence of common adverse events. To improve the safety of IMT, a thorough evaluation of patients' conditions and appropriate transplantation methods should be considered.

Prospective Study Reveals Host Microbial Determinants of Clinical Response to Fecal Microbiota Transplant Therapy in Type 2 Diabetes Patients

Dafa Ding et al.

Summary: This study found that fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) therapy can improve symptoms and metabolic parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Out of 17 patients, 11 showed significant improvement. Additionally, the presence of certain microbial species can predict the clinical response to FMT treatment.

Effect of Fecal Microbiota Transplantation on Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Lanfeng Xue et al.

Summary: Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) can attenuate fat accumulation in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) by improving gut microbiota dysbiosis. Significant differences in clinical features and gut microbiota were observed between lean and obese NAFLD patients, with FMT showing better effects in lean NAFLD patients.

Yun Wang et al.

Summary: This review provides a comprehensive overview of the clinical applications of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) from 2011 to 2021. The study examines the clinical benefits, processing methodology, usage strategies, and global regulations of FMT. The findings suggest that while further controlled trials are needed, FMT shows promising potential for treating dysbiosis-related diseases in the gut or beyond.

Srivathsan Ravindran et al.

Summary: The survey identified a potential serious shortage of screening colonoscopists in the next 5-10 years due to an ageing workforce and job plan pressures of aspirant BCS colonoscopists. The survey outlined potential mitigations including reviewing job plans, improving workforce resources, and supporting accreditation and training.

Effects of Diet-Modulated Autologous Fecal Microbiota Transplantation on Weight Regain

Ehud Rinott et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of diet-modulated autologous fecal microbiota transplantation (aFMT) for treatment of weight regain after the weight-loss phase. The results showed that in the green-Mediterranean diet group, aFMT significantly reduced weight regain and waist circumference gain, improved insulin rebound, and induced significant changes in gut microbiome composition. The green-Mediterranean diet also preserved weight-loss-associated specific bacteria and microbial metabolic pathways after the aFMT procedure.

Fecal Microbiota Transplantation from Overweight or Obese Donors in Cachectic Patients with Advanced Gastroesophageal Cancer: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-Controlled, Phase II Study

Nicolien C. de Clercq et al.

Summary: A study on fecal microbiota transplantation in cachectic patients with gastroesophageal cancer showed that allogenic FMT did not improve cachexia, but led to better disease control rate, overall survival, and progression-free survival. Patients in the allogenic group also experienced significant changes in fecal microbiota composition after FMT. This suggests a potential benefit of FMT in improving treatment response and survival in advanced gastroesophageal cancer patients.

Strain engraftment competition and functional augmentation in a multi-donor fecal microbiota transplantation trial for obesity

Brooke C. Wilson et al.

Summary: The study showed that multi-donor FMT can significantly alter the structure and function of the gut microbiome, with evidence for the existence of super-donors whose microbiomes are highly effective at engrafting in recipient gut. However, despite efforts to standardize FMT dose and origin, there was high variability in strain engraftment among FMT recipients.

Effects of fecal microbiota transplant on DNA methylation in subjects with metabolic syndrome

Eduard W. J. van der Vossen et al.

Summary: Accumulating evidence suggests that allogenic fecal microbial transplant (FMT) leads to greater shifts in gut microbiota compared to autologous FMT, potentially modulating the plasma metabolome and epigenome. Specifically, the introduction of Prevotella ASVs has been directly correlated with DNA methylation of AFAP1, a gene involved in mitochondrial function, insulin sensitivity, and peripheral insulin resistance.

Gut bacteriophage dynamics during fecal microbial transplantation in subjects with metabolic syndrome

Pilar Manrique et al.

Summary: Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) poses a global public health concern, increasing the risk of cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) for MetS can impact the gut bacteriophage community, with better clinical outcomes associated with similarity to healthy donors. Identified bacteriophage groups may help explain differences in treatment response.
