Fecal Microbiota Transplantation and Successful Resolution of Multidrug-Resistant-Organism Colonization

Abstract

We report a case in which fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) utilized for relapsingClostridium difficilecolitis successfully eradicated colonization with several multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs). FMT may have an additive benefit of reducing MDRO carriage and should be further investigated as a potential measure to eradicate additional potentially virulent organisms beyondC. difficile.
