Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) & Malnutrition

In the context of Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) & Malnutrition, Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is being explored as a way to correct gut dysbiosis in selected forms of malnutrition, but evidence is extremely sparse and largely limited to conceptual work, animal data, and isolated case reports rather than robust clinical trials. The most mature translational work in undernutrition has instead focused on “microbiota‑directed complementary foods” rather than FMT per se (1)
