Biomarker-based Multidisciplinary Team (Bio-MDT) Approach to Personalized Microbial-targeted Treatment of Pouchitis and Crohn's Disease (Bio-MDT)

We hypothesized that personalized antibiotics and dietary interventions will modify microbial composition and result in significantly improved outcomes, specifically resolution of inflammation and prolonged remission rates in patients with a pouch. Aims: 1. Compare the effect of two antibiotic treatments on clinical, inflammatory and microbiological outcomes of patients with pouch inflammation. 2. Evaluate the effect of combined microbiome-targeted antibiotic and dietary intervention as treatment and prevention strategy in patients after pouch surgery. 3. Evaluate the effect of a microbiome-targeted dietary intervention as prevention strategy in patients after pouch surgery. 4. Identify predictors for response to specific antibiotic and dietary interventions.
