Title of Collaborative Activity:

Improving Steps in the Development and Assessment of Live Microbiome-Based Products: Fecal Microbiota for Transplantation (FMT) and Live Biotherapeutic Products (LBPs)

Description of Collaborative Activity:

This project seeks to support the development and assessment of live microbiome-base products for the treatment and prevention of infection. Fecal microbiota for transplantation (FMT) utilizes stool from healthy donors to reestablish the gut microbiota of individuals with recurrent C. difficile infection. Whereas live biotherapeutic products (LBPs) are drugs that consist of purified bacteria developed for the prevention, treatment or cure of bacterial vaginosis in women. In the context of this IAA, FMT and LBPs are being developed to prevent disease (or reinfection) after antibiotic treatment by interacting with the human microbiome.
