Decolonization: A Model for Fecal Microbiota Transplantation in Patients Colonized with Multidrugresistant Organisms. As infectious disease physicians who conduct translational microbiome therapeutic clinical trials of fecal microbiome transplantation (FMT; https://clinicaltrials. gov/ct2/show/NCT02922816), and a senior administrator in a large academic medical center, we recognize that reduced antimicrobial administration, length of stay, and bloodstream infections may be important benefits of FMT in the increasingly complex landscape of potential risks.[1] We thank the authors for their work towards advancing understanding of the application of FMT to address threats of antimicrobial resistance.After reviewing the manuscript and supplemental materials, we were disappointed to find that the authors did not report the absolute multi-drug resistant organisms (MDRO) decolonization frequencies or proportions in their study. There are multiple important challenges in attempting to define or detect intestinal colonization with MDROs, much less response to a treatment.[2] However, a major limitation in trying to advance the study of FMT and other microbiome therapeutics is publication bias both in terms of omission of key data and the less frequent publication of studies with negative results. We encourage the authors to make these data available, both to advance understanding and to potentially inform future meta-analyses of data from similar clinical trials.
