Abstract In the recent years, numerous studies highlighted the potential role of microecological drugs in treating multiple diseases and preserving host’s health. In this paper, all the data was extracted from Clarivate via Cortellis. The results of qualitative analysis and expert wisdom were as follows. Up to data, 142 kinds of microecological drugs have been identified and 49 kinds of them have been undergone clinical trials. The United States was far ahead of other countries with 70 percent of the amount in microecological drugs. The drug indications were focused on Clostridium difficile infection, inflammatory bowel disease and ulcerative colitis. The key players have established advanced experimental platforms for discovery and development of novel product candidates, while 4D pharma was a world leader in this field. There were seven drugs in phase 3 clinical development. Access to 303 microecological drugs deal records, the maximum transaction was $2.78 billion. In the future, microecological drugs may make a major breakthrough in cancer and nervous system diseases treatment.
