Fecal microbiota-based treatment for recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection.

ABSTRACT

Rebyota is a rectally administered fecal microbiota suspension for prevention of recurrence of Clostridioides difficile infection. The mechanism of action of Rebyota probably involves competitive exclusion of C. difficile by donor microbes with reduced toxin production; other factors may include restoration of protective taxa and modulation of the recipient's microbiome by phage, donor microbes, or metabolites.
