Fecal microbiota transplantation alleviates radiation enteritis by modulating gut microbiota and metabolite profiles by Qin Ding, Jing Xue, Nan Li, Zhihui Hu, Jianbo Song

“…The results demonstrated that FMT, particularly in the M-FMT group, effectively alleviated RE by reducing DAI scores, histological damage, and inflammatory markers while enhancing enzyme activity, superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels, and intestinal absorption. FMT also modulated gut microbiota composition, increasing beneficial species, such as Blautia wexlerae and Romboutsia timonensis while decreasing Enterococcus ratti. …”
