AB - Faecal/intestinal microbiota transplant (FMT/IMT) is an efficacious treatment option for recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection, which has prompted substantial interest in FMT's potential role in the management of a much broader range of diseases associated with the gut microbiome. Despite its promise, the success rates of FMT in these other settings have been variable. This review critically evaluates the current evidence on the impact of clinical, biological, and procedural factors upon the therapeutic efficacy of FMT, and identifies areas that remain nebulous. Due to some of these factors, the optimal therapeutic approach remains unclear; for example, the preferred timing of FMT administration in a heavily antibiotic-exposed hematopoietic cell transplant recipient is not standardized, with arguments that can be made in alternate directions. We explore how these factors may impact upon more informed selection of donors, potential matching of donors to recipients, and aspects of clinical care of FMT recipients. This includes consideration of how gut microbiome composition and functionality may strategically inform donor selection criteria. Furthermore, we review how the most productive advances within the FMT space are those where clinical and translational outcomes are assessed together, and where this model has been used productively in recent years to better understand the contribution of the gut microbiome to human disease, and start the process toward development of more targeted microbiome therapeutics.
