Abstract

Decreased gut microbiome diversity has been associated with negative outcome in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transfer (HCT). A study published in this issue of Cell identifies associations between non-antibiotic drug administration, microbiome state transitions, and response to HCT, highlighting the potential impact of such drugs on microbiome and HCT outcome.
