Small study challenges notion of bacterial transfer for cure of c diff. In five patients, transfer of sterile filtrate of donor stool resolved symptoms.
New FMT pub of interest.
1. Fecal material filtered w 0.2um filter.
2. No cultivatable bacteria in filtrate in contrast to non-filtered material.
3. Microbiome + virome looks similar betwn the two.
4. Cdiff cured.
