    Enhancing Improve FMT effectiveness with mucus and biofilm dissolver? N-acetyl cysteine (NAC)

    I've been thinking of ways of improving the efficiency of FMT and thought about how bacteria create biofilm (a polysaccharide structure) and how they live in the mucus layer in the intestine. Biofilm structure and maturation: Mucus layer: Maybe a reason for why FMT doesn't always work is...
