Recently,biotech companies have been increasing rapidly worldwide in the field of new microbiome drugs. It is also expected that new microbiome drugs will be introduced to the market soon as Seres Therapeutics and Rebiotix are undergoing phase 3 clinical trials as of 2019.

Furthermore,a series of studies published recently suggested that the treatment rate of immunosuppressants is affected by the intestinal microbiological environment. Microbiomes have emerged as a means that can improve the low response rate of immunosuppressants.
