Behavioral Comorbidities Treatment by Fecal Microbiota Transplantation in Canine Epilepsy: A Pilot Study of a Novel Therapeutic Approach

Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is a procedure used to modify the composition of the gastrointestinal microbiota (GIM). It has been shown in rodent models that behavioral features can be modulated by FMT. In this study, we investigated the beneficial effects of FMT on behavioral comorbidities in a translational model of canine epilepsy.

粪菌移植（Fecal microbiota transplantation, FMT）是一种用于重塑胃肠道微生物群（Gastrointestinal microbiota, GIM）组成的干预手段。既往啮齿动物模型研究已证实，粪菌移植可调控宿主的行为特征。本研究以犬类癫痫转化模型为研究对象，探究了粪菌移植对该模型行为共病的有益作用。
