Abstract

Microbiota-based therapies are used increasingly for the treatment and prevention of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI), particularly in cases of recurrent CDI (rCDI). This review discusses the different types of microbiota-based therapies, including fecal microbiota transplant, fecal microbiota products, and live biotherapeutic products. The authors present efficacy data regarding clinical use in rCDI and highlight the unique aspects of each product.
