Metagenomic source tracking after microbiota transplant therapy by Susan L. Hoops, Daphne Moutsoglou, Byron P. Vaughn, Alexander Khoruts, Dan Knights

“…Reliable engraftment assessment of donor microbial communities and individual strains is an essential component of characterizing the pharmacokinetics of microbiota transplant therapies (MTTs). Recent methods for measuring donor engraftment use whole-genome sequencing and reference databases or metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) to track individual bacterial strains but lack the ability to disambiguate DNA that matches both donor and patient microbiota. …”
