"The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted orphan designation to SER-109 for the prevention of recurrent Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) in adults.
SER-109 is a microbiome therapeutic designed to treat recurrent CDI by correcting dysbiosis of the human microbiome.
In a single dose of 4 capsules, SER-109 re-introduces an ecology of purified bacterial spores that should restore the microbiome to a healthy state, allowing it to carry out key biological functions, including resisting Clostridium difficile."

This may be good news for those that don't like the idea of a faecal transplant!
