NCIt definition : An oral capsule formulation composed of frozen ready-to-use human fecal microbiota
from screened, healthy donors with healthy gut microbiota, for the potential treatment
of recurrent Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) infections. Upon oral administration
of the fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) capsule, the microbiota in the capsule
populate the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The transplanted microbiota allows re-population
of the patient's microbiome with diverse protective microorganisms that competitively
exclude C. difficile. This prevents recurrent C. difficile infections.;
