%X Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) can be an effective treatment of recurrent Clostridium difficile infection (CDI), although non-responsiveness to treatment remains poorly understood. Here we examine the bacterial composition of stool from FMT recipients using culture-independent methods to identify associations between bacterial community structure, route of FMT administration (colonoscopy or freeze-dried encapsulated FMT (capsules)), treatment outcome and donor. We hypothesized that multiple community structures could be associated with and may better define treatment outcome
