SUMMARY
The human intestinal microbiome  play a fundamental role in human health. Dysbiosis of this microbiome causes many health problems including neurological diseases such as Parkinson‘s disease and multiple sclerosis.

Therefore, the restoration of the intestinal microbiota is very important in the treatment of these diseases. The faecal microbial transplantation (FMT) method, during which an intestinal microbiota from a healthy donor is implanted to the recipient‘s gastrointestinal tract, appears to be successful. The result is the revitalization of the intestinal microbiota and the restoration of optimal function of the intestinal system and other physiological pathways.
Key words: intestinal microbiome, fecal microbial transplantation, Parkinson‘s disease, sclerosis multiplex.
