Abstract in brief

Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is a method used to modify the gut microbiota of recipients to achieve therapeutic benefits, primarily for gastrointestinal disorders like recurrent Clostridium difficile infection, which the FDA approved in 2013, but its applications are expanding to other diseases.
The FMT process involves careful donor screening via questionnaires, blood tests, and stool examinations to prevent adverse events, along with meticulous preparation and personalized delivery methods based on individual clinical situations.
While FMT is generally considered safe with few side effects, long-term outcomes are not fully understood, emphasizing the need for ongoing follow-up, and future advancements may include personalized FMT tailored to individual patients and their specific conditions.

je to humorný, jak vždycky na začátku schůzek rozpačitě užíváme termín "materiál", uprostřed mluvíme s úsměvem o "bobcích" a na konci už bez okolků hážeme "hovnama".
