Secondary Outcomes
- confirm whether the uropathogen are identical before and after FMT(12 months)
- proportion of participants with mild to severe depression assessed by BDI scores before and after FMT(1-12 months)
- mean number of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) scores assessed by 15D before and after FMT(1-12 months)
- description of groups of bacteria in faecal and urine microbiome before and after FMT(12 months)
- mean number of UTI episodes caused by sensitive E. colis after FMT among patients with recent non-ESBL/MDR UTIs(12 months)
- proportion of participants with UTIs caused by ESBL/MDR E. colis after FMT among patients with recent ESBL/MDR UTIs(12 months)
- the duration of successful prevention by FMT(1-5 years)
- proportion of participants with intestinal ESBL/MDR eradicated after FMT(1-12 months)
- human urine and serum metabolic profiles before and after FMT(12 months)
