Predictive factors that determine which bacterial strains will engraph successfully are abundance of the strain in the donor and the species present in the patient.
Donor strains whose species are also present in the patient always engraph according to a machine-learning model developed by researchers at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard.
This interesting model could inform ME/CFS microbiome research by Drs. Lipkin, Hanson, Carding, and others.
