Chemotherapy and allogeneic stem cell transplant suppress the body’s immunity making them more prone to neutropenic sepsis, for which the patients have to be given broad-spectrum antibiotics. These antibiotics disrupt the well-organized colony of our intestinal microbiome creating dysbiosis. Dysbiosis makes the intestine a favorable platform for certain Gram-positive bacilli to proliferate which is <em>Clostridium difficile</em>. Traditional treatment requires the patient to take metronidazole, vancomycin, and probiotics. Recurrent <em>C. difficile </em>infection makes the traditional treatment a failure. Thus, fecal microbial transplant is the answer to recurrent <em>C. difficile.</em>
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
