Assessing the viability of transplanted gut microbiota by sequential tagging with D-amino acid-based metabolic probes
The mechanisms underlying the success or failure of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) are unclear. Here, Wang et al. use a mouse model of FMT to show that fluorescent D-amino acids can be used to track the transplanted microbiota in the recipient animals.
