A standardised model for stool banking for faecal microbiota transplantation: a consensus report from a multidisciplinary UEG working group.

ABSTRACT:

Faecal microbiota transplantation is an emerging therapeutic option, particularly for the treatment of recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection.
