Summary:
This study investigates the effects of chemostat culturing on fecal eukaryotic virus load and diarrhea following virome transplantation. Chemostat culturing significantly reduced the viral load in fecal samples. It also delayed the onset of diarrhea, suggesting a potential strategy for improving outcomes in virome transplantation. The findings indicate that controlling the microbial environment through chemostat culturing can be beneficial for gastrointestinal health.
