Abstract

Background: The global alteration of the gut microbial community (dysbiosis) plays an important role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs). However, bacterial species that characterize dysbiosis in IBD remain unclear. In this study, we assessed the alteration of the fecal microbiota profile in patients with Crohn's disease (CD) using 16S rRNA sequencing. Summary: Fecal samples from 10 inactive CD patients and 10 healthy individuals were subjected to 16S rRNA sequencing. The V3-V4 hypervariable regions of 16S rRNA were sequenced by the Illumina MiSeq™II system. The average of 62,201 reads per CD sample was significantly lower than the average of 73,716 reads per control sample. The genera Bacteroides, Eubacterium, Faecalibacterium and Ruminococcus significantly decreased in CD patients as compared to healthy controls. In contrast, the genera Actinomyces and Bifidobacterium significantly increased in CD patients. At the species level, butyrate-producing bacterial species, such as Blautia faecis, Roseburia inulinivorans, Ruminococcus torques, Clostridium lavalense, Bacteroides uniformis and Faecalibacterium prausnitzii were significantly reduced in CD patients as compared to healthy individuals (p < 0.05). These results of 16S rRNA sequencing were confirmed in additional CD patients (n = 68) and in healthy controls (n = 46) using quantitative PCR. The abundance of Roseburia inulinivorans and Ruminococcus torques was significantly lower in C-reactive protein (CRP)-positive CD patients as compared to CRP-negative CD patients (p < 0.05). Key Message: The dysbiosis of CD patients is characterized by reduced abundance of multiple butyrate-producing bacteria species.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
