Microbiome donation can heal lives. Donor stool used in fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has saved patients facing life-threatening gut infections and severe dysbiosis, helping restore a balanced microbial community that supports gut healing and immune function. For many patients, a generous microbiome donation offers a second chance at health—reduced symptoms, fewer hospital stays, and improved quality of life. Beyond immediate treatment, microbiome donation fuels a growing field of personalized gut health. As scientists refine donor screening, processing, and matching, patients gain access to targeted therapies that rebuild microbial diversity and resilience. Donor material supports not only infections like C. difficile but a broader spectrum of conditions where the gut microbiome plays a pivotal role in digestion, immunity, and overall well-being.
