The Microbiome and Common Infections Q&A w/Dr.Paul Wischmeyer MD, Duke University

In this fascinating presentation, Dr. Paul Wischmeyer discusses the latest research on the microbiome and the use of probiotics and FMT (fecal microbiome transplants) in reducing both the incidence and severity of common infections, including respiratory infections like COVID-19 and C.difficile colitis. We also discuss how the microbiome changes with aging, and whether daily probiotics are beneficial for those without specific health conditions.
