The intestinal microbiota has many critical roles in maintaining gastrointestinal epithelial and
gastrointestinal systemic immune homeostasis. This review provides insight into how
allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) and its associated complications and
supportive care therapies affect the microbiota. Additionally, the review discusses how
preservation and restoration of the microbiota might be advantageous in decreasing HCT-
related morbidity and mortality.
