Despite the unaesthetic appeal of Faecal microbiome transplantation,
surprisingly, our patients have been fairly accepting of it.
But we lack the entrepreneurs and
business that will set up these small FSTPs(Faecal sludge treatment plants).
He writes,"Wild animals, especially carnivores whose Faecal matter contains material attractive to pathogens, have evolved
to be able to clean themselves.
We recently discovered that omega-3 is beneficial because it makes
gut bacteria produce other substances(a Faecal metabolite called n-carbamyl glutamate that is anti-inflammatory
and good for us).
The Faecal organisms tend not to live very long,
but the plasmids that carry antibiotic resistance genes can be quickly transferred to other organisms in the river.
We started offering Faecal microbiota transplant in 2013 and at present,
perform it on about one in 10 inflammatory bowel disease patients who do not respond to conventional therapies.
The ODF++ protocol adds the condition that“Faecal sludge/septage and sewage is safely managed and treated,
with no discharging and/or dumping of untreated Faecal sludge/septage and sewage in drains, water bodies or open areas.”.
In the ideal scenario, if I am the one that has treated Faecal sludge and generated wastewater,
I should be accurately compensated since that water will be used to someone's benefit and that should help me to cover my cost.
The study's lead author Dr Lorena Martinez-Anton said that when they examined Faecal samples collected within seven days of clinical signs of APN appearing,
they were 9.4 times more likely to have had a Campylobacter infection than the control group without APN.
