dc.description.abstract | Dysbiosis refers to an imbalance in the intestinal microbiota composition that
can be linked to gastrointestinal dysfunctions. Therapeutic approaches of
dysbiosis aim to modulate and support the intestinal microbiome. One of the
most promising therapeutic interventions is FMT. FMT involves transferring
fecal sample from donor dog into the gastrointestinal tract of a diseased
recipient using methods such as oral capsules, endoscopy or rectal enema,
with the goal of restoring intestinal barrier integrity.
As a new method, FMT currently lacks standardization in veterinary sciences,
and requires further research. The aim of our study was to provide better
knowledge on FMT-procedure, as well as introduce FMT to the small animal
practice and establish a fecal donor program in Hungary. | en_US |
