Influence of FMT with age-unmatched and sex-matched gut microbiome
GF mice at 4 weeks of age exGF C and exGF D groups received the age-unmatched and sex-matched gut microbiome from donor SPF mice (SPF C [4 weeks of age] and SPF D [10 weeks of age] groups). At week 4 after FMT, the bacterial composition of recipients (between exGF A and exGF B groups) were similar. Also, there was no significant difference in microbial metabolic pathways between exGF C and exGF D groups at week 2.
