Precise quantification and tracking of gut bacterial strains following fecal transplantation demonstrates long-term stable engraftment and predicts outcome

We isolated bacterial strains from donors who provided their samples for Fecal Transplantation (FMT) to several patients with different diseases. We then tracked these strains in corresponding patients using their fecal metagenomics data and our novel algorithm, to understand bacterial dynamics post FMT. In the accompanying manuscript, we also describe how bacterial strain engraftment in patients post-FMT can predict clinical outcome.
