Abstract
Open AccessThe 2025 CHINAGUT Conference has assembled a panel of 63 experts (30 scientists, 26 physicians, and 7 corporate R&D personnel) collaborated in three groups to present 30 scientific recommendations to advance probiotics, live biotherapeutic products, and fecal microbiota transplantation, addressing key issues on standardization, translation, supervision, regulation, and regulatory harmonization. These interdisciplinary guidelines aim to synthesize cutting-edge knowledge and practical needs to transform microbiota-based treatments from applications into precision-driven medical solutions, and serve as reference by scientific researchers, medical educators, pharmaceutical enterprises, clinicians, food and drug administrations, policymakers, and patients.
