Refining a Protocol for Faecal Microbiota Engraftment in Animal Models After Successful Antibiotic-Induced Gut Decontamination
BackgroundThere is mounting evidence for the therapeutic use of faecal microbiota transplant (FMT) in numerous chronic inflammatory diseases.Germ free mice are not always accessible for FMT research and hence alternative approaches using antibiotic depletion prior to FMT in animal studies are often used.Hence, there is a need for standardising gut
