Multifaceted mechanisms affecting FMT treatment outcome. FMT treatment outcome of (A) successful FMT recipients, and (B) failed FMT recipients. A successful treatment outcome includes the repair of the disturbed gut microbial ecosystem by transient colonization of nexus species followed by secondary succession of bile acid metabolizers, sporulators, and short chain fatty acid producers. A failed treatment outcome may be due to the presence of fungal and bacterial genera including Yarrowia and Wigglesworthia in recipients, minimizing the establishment of repair or successful secondary colonization for functional ecosystem restoration.
