Treatment With Fecal Microbiota Transplantation: The Need for Complete Methodological Reporting for Clinical Trials

Research on the human microbiome has opened new avenues to understanding the pathogenesis of a variety of conditions and to pursuing novel therapeutics that change the microbiome to restore health. Bafeta and colleagues report a systematic review that examined the methods described in 85 studies of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT). The editorialist discusses the findings and proposes strategies for establishing standards for FMT research that will help ensure that we realize the potential effect that an understanding of the microbiome will have on health.
