Autologous microbiota transfer (aMTT) is a form of health insurance: you can store your own gut bacteria — healthy today — in AutoBiome capsules, so that after a future event causing dysbiosis you can get back what was always yours. The capsules can be kept at home, in a fridge or a freezer.
Dysbiosis — a pathological imbalance of the gut flora — can develop in anyone, even in someone who is completely healthy today. A course of antibiotics, an operation or even a longer journey can upset the delicate balance the gut microbiota has built over years. If you know that a medical condition, treatment or event that may cause dysbiosis lies ahead of you, you can store your own, naturally compatible gut bacteria now, while you are healthy, for future recovery.
A sample taken carefully and at the right time can be returned to your body after an unexpected or an already foreseeable event — as if you were resuming life from a saved game, with your own proven microbiota. The service that produces the necessary capsules is AutoBiome.
Storing your own microbiota is recommended if you do not suffer from a chronic illness and are in microbiologically suitable health. Below we summarise the situations in which it is worth considering, and those in which we do not recommend storage.
