Moreover, we refer to
(mostly case report) studies showing beneficial or adverse effects
of fecal transplantation on clinical outcomes in some of these
disease states. If these findings can be substantiated in larger
randomized controlled double blind trials also implementing gut
microbiota composition before and after intervention, fecal
transplantation might provide us with novel insights into causally
related intestinal microbiota, that might be serve as future diagnostic
and treatment targets in human disease.
