Most respondents indicated that the donated stool samples
were screened for transmissible pathogens according to previously
published recommendations [6e8,11]
. Nevertheless, it was surprising that six of 144 respondents (4%) did not screen the stool
donor prior to stool acquisition. There were no instances of a reported
transmissible infectious event observed for any of the recipients
following FMT, which is in accordance with the published
literature [6].
