Medical Definition of bacteriotherapy
: the treatment of disease by the use of bacteria or their products After many months of return infections and thousands of dollars spent on antibiotics, some doctors are suggesting a bizarre-sounding treatment—replacing the missing good bacteria by transplanting the stool of a healthy spouse or relative, sometimes known as bacteriotherapy. —Don Finley, The San Antonio Express-News, 20 Oct. 2010
