Randomized trial investigates microbial engraftment determinants in capsule-based FMT, suggesting ecological factors influence outcomes.

This research aims to identify factors determining microbial engraftment in capsule-based fecal microbiota transplantation.
Analyzed clinical response and donor strain retention from large meta-analytic datasets.
Examined physiological barriers affecting oral capsule delivery and microbial viability.
Investigated the correlation between pre-treatment dysbiosis and successful microbial colonization.
Higher donor strain retention correlates with improved clinical outcomes (p<0.01).
Pre-treatment dysbiosis is identified as a strong predictor of engraftment success.
Capsule dose varies widely, with increased doses showing potential threshold effects on microbial establishment.

Muniraj et al. (2026) studied this question.
