A recent systematic review has examined how all published studies assessing FMT were conducted and reported, particularly focusing on whether the studies adequately described the main methodological components of the FMT intervention.
A recent randomised placebo-controlled trial, led by Prof. Thomas Borody from the Centre for Digestive Diseases in Sydney (Australia), has found that faecal microbiota transplantation induces clinical remission and endoscopic improvement in patients with active ulcerative colitis.

A recent study, led by Dr. Chaysavanh Manichanh from the Group of Physiology and Digestive Physiopathology of the Vall d’Hebron Research Institute in Barcelona (Spain), has identified for the first time a group of 8 bacterial taxa that could discriminate CD and non-CD independently of geographical region.

A recent study, led by Prof. Brian K. Coombes from the Department of Biochemistry and Biomedical Sciences at the McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario (Canada), has found that AIEC colonization along with acute infectious gastroenteritis worsened clinical outcome and increased mortality in mice, and also that the infectious diarrhoea caused by microbes promoted growth of AIEC and heightened the inflammatory state in the gut.

In a recently published paper in Nature Medicine, a group led by Harry Sokol at INRA studied how host genes affect the composition and function of the gut microbiota, and in turn, the production of metabolites and intestinal inflammation.
