One aspect I have forgotten that might or might not be important (we don’t understand it well) is that in addition to bacteria species, phages also play a role and get transferred via fecal transplant. A newly introduced phage might reduce the numbers of the bacteria it targets.
That makes a lot of sense- this is definitely the sort of thing I was looking for, thanks so much!
