AB - <jats:p>The gut microbiome can be adversely affected by chemotherapy and antibiotics prior to hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). This affects graft success and increases susceptibility to multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO) colonization and infection. We performed an initial retrospective analysis of our use of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) from healthy donors as therapy for MDRO-colonized patients with hematological malignancy. FMT was performed on eight MDRO-colonized patients pre-HCT (FMT-MDRO group), and outcomes compared with 11 MDRO colonized HCT patients from the same period. At 12 months, survival was significantly higher in the FMT-MDRO group (70% <jats:italic>versus</jats:italic> 36% <jats:italic>p</jats:italic> = 0.044). Post-HCT, fewer FMT-MDRO patients required intensive care (0% <jats:italic>versus</jats:italic> 46%, <jats:italic>P</jats:italic> = 0.045) or experienced fever (0.29 <jats:italic>versus</jats:italic> 0.11 days, <jats:italic>P</jats:italic> = 0.027). Intestinal MDRO decolonization occurred in 25% of FMT-MDRO patients <jats:italic>versus</jats:italic> 11% non-FMT MDRO patients. Despite the significant differences and statistically comparable patient/transplant characteristics, as the sample size was small, a matched-pair analysis between both groups to non-MDRO colonized control cohorts (2:1 matching) was performed. At 12 months, the MDRO group who did not have an FMT had significantly lower survival (36.4% <jats:italic>versus</jats:italic> 61.9% respectively, <jats:italic>p</jats:italic>=0.012), and higher non relapse mortality (NRM; 60.2% <jats:italic>versus</jats:italic> 16.7% respectively, <jats:italic>p</jats:italic>=0.009) than their paired non-MDRO-colonized cohort. Conversely, there was no difference in survival (70% <jats:italic>versus</jats:italic> 43.4%, <jats:ita
