The intestinal microbiota is composed of hundreds of millions of microorganisms and plays an important role in maintaining the body's immune function and resisting invasion of pathogenic microorganisms. Intestinal microecological imbalance can cause a variety of external and parenteral diseases. In recent years, fecal microbiota transplantation has achieved good effects in treating those diseases that are caused by Clostridium difficile infection. The therapy can correct intestinal microenvironment disorders, which makes it possible to use the therapy to treat other related diseases caused by microecological imbalance and improve human health. This paper will review recent advances in fecal microbiota transplantation in terms of its history, methods, application in external and parenteral diseases, and adverse reactions.
