Abstract
The present invention resides in the discovery that abundance and diversity of viral species in the fecal matter from a donor used in fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) treatment can influence the outcome of the FMT treatment. Thus, novel methods are provided for identifying subjects as suitable donors for FMT, for assessing the likelihood of FMT treatment success, and for enhancing FMT treatment efficacy. Also provided are kits and compositions for FMT with enhanced efficacy.
