Abstract

The history of 2000 years to date is reviewed, regarding intestinal microbiota transplants, or is it 3000? We carry out in-depth analysis on the importance of Intestinal Microbiota Transplantation, the importance of Stool Banks (Microbiota); current transplant procedure, including patient, laboratory, donor, and exclusion criteria; reinforcement, safety, limitations and complications; consensus and conditions that can be treated with Fecal Microbiota Transplantation. We develop the importance of transplantation in children and the elderly and conclude with a series of interesting topics.

History: The Intestinal Microbiota Transplant (IMT) or Fecal Microbiota Transplant (FMT) was carried out by Ge Hong, a Chinese alchemist, more than 1,700 years ago [1], although some point out that the treatment of diseases of the colon with fecal matter originated in India, a thousand years before, and that it was Charak Samhita, who in his book Uttara-Tantra, describes it. Although there are many doubts, in this regard [2]. The Intestinal Microbiota (IM) is called in the traditional Chinese medicine book Ben Cao Gang Mu, “yellow soup” [3]. The Italian doctor Girolamo Fabrizi d’Acquapendente, in the seventeenth century, professor of Williams Harvey, determines Transplantation as Transfaunation; word from English “Transfaunation”: Transfer part or all of the symbiotic flora of the digestive tract [4].

Keywords: Intestinal Microbiota Transplant (IMT); Fecal Microbiota Transplant (FMT); Intestinal Microbiota (IM)
