This is significant because it's written by Dr. Alexander Khoruts, who runs the main/only stool bank in the US.
I wrote to him some months ago about his previous supposed objections to the FDA regulating FMT as a drug, and the potential opportunity with the new RFK administration to finally get something done about it. I did not receive a response (even though I have in the past).
Now he publishes this paper, so I read it to see if there was anything insightful or useful in it. I think it confirms that he's entirely in the "drug" camp now. More info: https://forum.humanmicrobiome.info/threads/microbiota-therapeutics-program-mtp-at-the-university-of-minnesota-jun.1089/
