The human body contains more bacteria than human cells. This may sound daunting at first but in a healthy individual, most of this bacteria is considered to be "good" and they are actually required for our survival. Specifically, a plethora of colonies can be found in the gastrointestinal tract but when disease ensues, treatments, such as fecal transplantation, may be suggested. In this book, we explore various interesting facets of this increasingly popular medical procedure. How did this unique treatment come to be in the first place? How is a fecal transplant performed? What research has been conducted and how will this contribute to the future of the use of fecal transplants? Though fecal transplants may sound unappealing at first, a thorough understanding of its uses and purposes will help readers comprehend the significance this intervention holds in the medical community.
