Abstract

Comment on Inflamm Bowel Dis. 2020 Aug 20;26(9):1415-1420. Intestinal microbiota transplantation (IMT) is an effective therapy for recurrent Clostridioides difficile infections in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, further research is needed to understand the safety of this procedure, particularly given the frequency of gastrointestinal symptoms and of IBD treatment escalation after IMT.
