Functional Restoration of Bacteriomes and Viromes by Fecal Microbiota Transplantation

Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is an effective therapy for recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection (rCDI).

We investigated whether functional restoration of the bacteriomes and viromes by FMT could be an indicator of successful FMT.
