Popis: Fecal microbiota transplantation and probiotics have been tested/used as potential therapeutics against inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Here the authors use a bottom-up rational consortium design approach that combines well-characterized strains isolated from healthy human stool samples to produce two consortia of metabolically interdependent strains for the treatment of IBD.
