Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and pharmaceutical compositions for treating ulcerative colitis (UC) in a subject in need thereof. In particular, the compositions described here comprise or are designed based on fecal bacteria associated with FMT-based UC treatment success or failure. Also provided are methods for screening patients for their suitability for a fecal bacteria-based UC treatment. Further provided are methods for screening fecal donors for optimized source materials for producing a fecal bacteria-based pharmaceutical composition.
Abstract: This application provides compositions, e.g., formulations, used for gastric, gastrointestinal and/or colonic treatments, and methods for making, storing and using them, including storage, including long term storage, at ambient temperature. Compositions provided herein are useful for treating various diseases or conditions such as autism spectrum disorder, Crohn's Disease, ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, and recurrent or primary C. difficile infection.
