While fecal microbiota transplants are recommended for multiple recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection, their use in clinical practice is hindered by a lack of regulation and understanding of the underlying ecological dynamics. This article covers major challenges for the treatment in transitioning from bench to bedside, from the scientific, clinical and regulatory perspectives (Part 6).

The involvement of the gut microbiota in diverticulitis is gaining interest. This article explores what we know so far about the role of the gut microbiota in diverticulitis and discusses two recent clinical trials on the role of probiotics in managing acute uncomplicated diverticulitis.
In a series of 7 webinar this programme will develop a full picture of the C. difficile infection (CDI) reaching from the importance of a healthy gut microbiota, to its detection and testing methods to current and future therapeutic approaches.
