Fecal preservation by freeze-drying: applications and perspectives

Dr. Julie Reygner from Université Paris Descartes - Faculté de Pharmacie, France will join in the Congress and will present her work entitled "Fecal preservation by freeze-drying: applications and perspectives" during the congress.

Short summary: Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has now evolved into an efficient therapeutic for the management of recurrent Clostridium difficile infections (rCDIs) with an efficient cure rate reaching 85-95%. We have previously shown that a freeze-dried formulation allowed to conserve FMT preparation over 12 months improving standardization of the stool preparation procedures, process time and thus facilitating patient access to this treatment. The new goal is to improve of the selection of donors, beyond safety of stool samples, in order to develop a rational selection of FMT donor according to the pathology to be treated.

Dr. Reygner is also Best Shor oral presentation award winner of last year and presented short oral presentation "A new freeze-dried formulation to conserve stools over 12 months for fecal transplantation".

This year, Dr. Reygner join participate as Major speaker and will elobrate more about her study on Fecal preservation, ecal transplantation.
