Red Cross Lifeblood has received Australia’s first approval to produce faecal microbiota transplants for treating Clostridioides difficile outside of a clinical trial.

Hospitals can now order supplies of Lifeblood-processed faecal microbiota transplants (FMT) to administer to patients with C. difficile who do not respond to antibiotics.
