Rarely, in fulminant Clostridium difficile infection (CDI), the rectal stump is 
persistently infected following total abdominal colectomy. We report cure of a 
septic patient with proctitis by fecal microbiota transplant via rectal swabs 
(mini-FMT). This novel procedure offers a management option for recurrent CDI 
following total abdominal colectomy.
