About this trial
In this clinical trial, our aim is to assess the effect of auto-FMT (Fecal microbiome transplantation) on the intestinal microbiota, after a course of antibiotics.
30 healthy adults are recruited. All are given a five day course of amoxicillin-clavulanate. The subjects are double blinded and randomized to two groups. Group A is given autologous FMT (auto-FMT) on day 7 (two days after the end of the course of antibiotics) and Group B is given auto-FMT on day 28 (23 days after the end of the course of antibiotics).
