Science Bulletins: Microbial Warriors Battle Digestive Disease

Interactions between many species of bacteria create a healthy environment in the human stomach and intestines. But when medicines like antibiotics upset the normal microbial balance, certain harmful species can multiply and thrive, causing infections that are difficult to cure. Scientists are successfully treating a type of digestive disorder using transplanted microbes from donors with healthy digestive systems to reestablish microbial diversity. Science Bulletins is a production of the National Center for Science Literacy, Education, and Technology (NCSLET), part of the Department of Education at the American Museum of Natural History.
