Extra-Intestinal Applications of Fecal Microbiota Transplantation: Volume 1 - Foundations and Applications in Metabolic, Respiratory, Hormonal, and Dermatological Diseases

Extra-intestinal Applications of Fecal Microbiota Transplantation: Volume One: Foundations and Applications in Metabolic, Respiratory, Hormonal, and Dermatological Diseases provides real world applications of Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) in various metabolic, respiratory, hormonal, and dermatological disease pathologies. The content provides a comprehensive view of FMT beyond intestinal pathologies, including content on extra-intestinal applications of FMT and lesser-known concepts of gut brain axis, gut lung axis, gut skin axis and gut vagina bladder axis. Content coverage also includes a comparison of regulatory guidelines for FMT in various countries and various routes of administration of FMT with advantages and limitations.

This is the perfect reference for researchers involved in work on bacteriotherapeutics as it provides a comprehensive view of the extra-intestinal applications of FMT while discussing the lesser known concepts of the gut axis.
