The invention relates to therapeutic compositions comprising at least one isolated bacterium and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient, as well as methods of preparing such therapeutic compositions. The therapeutic compositions find application in the treatment of dysbiosis, in particular dysbiosis of the gastrointestinal tract.

Bacteriotherapy

A method, for the identification of bacterial isolates suitable for use in bacteriotherapy, the method comprising: (i) preparing a suspension of material collected from a host harbouring microbiota; (ii) addition of an activator of bacterial spores sufficient to allow growth of bacteria from spores present in the suspension; (iii) culturing the suspension; and (iv) identification of at least one bacterial species within the culture.
