Singapore launches its first fecal bank

Recently, Singapore established the first stool bank, dedicated to researching and collecting the microbiome in people's intestines. The samples are stored for the first 10 years, and the owner needs to pay US$55,500. The freezing technology is almost the same as that of umbilical cord blood. It will be a big change. It is understood that the microbiota contained in the feces can play a role in the treatment of sitting. The traditional use of antibiotics to treat diseases may lead to people's dependence on it. After stopping the antibiotics, it may relapse. There are a lot of beneficial bacteria in China, so fecal transplantation has become a new option for treatment. The newly established fecal bank in Singapore encourages people to deposit part of their own feces when they are young or healthy, and when they have gastrointestinal problems, they can use their own fecal transplants.
