Table 4 Comparative analysis of different stool processing methods
| Method | Pros | Cons | Recommended setting |
| Rough filtration | Simple, low cost | Low microbial purity, higher adverse events | Suitable for basic setups |
| Filtration plus centrifugation | Improved bacterial concentration | Moderate technical demands | Used in standard protocols |
| Microfiltration plus centrifugation | High microbial purity, fewer toxic reactions, delivers a precise dose of the enriched microbiota instead of using the weight of stool | Expensive, automated system e.g., GenFMTer needed | Ideal for advanced centers |
