Measure
Fecal Microbiota_Fresh
Donor stool (greater than 150 grams) was collected \<4 hours prior to the procedure and then mixed in a homogenizer with 1500 milliliters (mL) (1:10 dilution) sterilized 0.9% sodium chloride (NaCl) in a large sterilized suction canister until a smooth consistency was reached. The suspension was filtered using a coffee filter twice. The microbiota suspension (250 milliliters (mL)) was used within 2 hours of preparation (Fresh). Fecal Microbiota: Fecal Microbiota will be delivered via colonoscopy.
Fecal Microbiota_Frozen
Donor stool (greater than 150 grams) was collected \<4 hours prior to the procedure and then mixed in a homogenizer with 1500 milliliters (mL) (1:10 dilution) sterilized 0.9% sodium chloride (NaCl) in a large sterilized suction canister until a smooth consistency was reached. The suspension was filtered using a coffee filter twice. The microbiota suspension (250mL) was kept at -80 degrees celsius (C) freezer labeled with identity (ID) and expiration date which was 6 months after preparation day (Frozen). Fecal Microbiota: Fecal Microbiota will be delivered via colonoscopy.
Fecal Microbiota_Lyophilized
Donor stool (greater than 150 grams) was collected \<4 hours prior to the procedure and then mixed in a homogenizer with 1500 milliliters (mL) (1:10 dilution) sterilized 0.9% NaCl in a large sterilized suction canister until a smooth consistency was reached. The suspension was filtered using a coffee filter twice. The microbiota suspension (250 milliliters (mL)) was starting lyophilization process within 30 minutes after completion of stool filtration (Lyophilized). Lyophilized microbiota products were kept at 4 degrees celsius (C) and were used within 6 months after preparation day. Fecal Microbiota: Fecal Microbiota will be delivered via colonoscopy.
