Chinese expert consensus on standardized technical specifications for laboratory preparation and quality control of fecal microbiota transplantation(2023 edition)
Fecal microbiota transplantation(FMT)has been attempted as an emerging therapeutic tool for a variety of dis-eases.FMT is an effective method to rebuild intestinal microecology,which refers to transplanting functional flora from healthy human feces into the patient's intestine after treatment to rebuild new intestinal flora and restore the diversity and biological of intestinal flora,so as to realize the treatment of diseases inside and outside the intestinal tract and achieve the purpose of curing diseases.In the field of basic and clinical research targeting FMT,there is a need to recognize and under-stand the laboratory assays for FMT preparation and quality control.Since there is no unified standard for the experimental procedure and quality management of FMT technology,in order to clarify the standardized laboratory technical specifica-tions for FMT preparation and quality control,the Tumor and Microecology Professional Committee of the Chinese Anti-Cancer Association and the Chinese Infection Immunology and Microecology Research Translation Collaborative Group organized relevant experts to discuss and propose the"Chinese Expert Consensus on Standardized Technical Specifica-tions for Laboratory Preparation and Quality Control of Fecal Microbiota Transplantation(2023 Edition)",which provides a basis for further application and in-depth research in the basic and clinical fields of FMT.
