What is FMT?
Fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) involves transferring gut bacteria and other elements from the feces of a carefully screened healthy donor to a patient with a specific condition, with the goal of treating the patient’s condition.
FMT can be delivered either through the upper gastrointestinal tract using a tube inserted through the nose into the stomach or small intestine, or through the lower bowel via colonoscopy or rectal enema.
The FMT produced by the HK FMT Biobank complies to ISO 9001:2015 and Good Manufacturing Practice conditions.
