Materials and methods. Three donors were selected for FMT in three recipients affected by CDI. Faces obtained for FMT underwent culturomics, applying 17 different culture methods.
Results and conclusions. Several different bacteria were isolated from donors. In two donors 4 potentially pathogenic bacteria were isolated; this suggests the use of culturomics for donors’ screening or for selection of bacteria to infuse.
