Bacteroides vulgatus and Bacteroides dorei Reduce Gut Microbial Lipopolysaccharide Production and Inhibit Atherosclerosis
Abstract
Background: It is increasingly recognized that gut microbiota play a pivotal role in the development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Previously, we have reported that the abundance of genus Bacteroides is lower in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) than in patients without CAD with coronary risk factors or in healthy volunteers. However, it remains unclear which and how specific gut bacteria contribute to the progression of atherosclerosis. Methods: We recruited patients with CAD patients and controls without CAD with coronary risk factors. We then compared gut microbial composition using 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing in fecal samples to detect species with differential abundance between 2 groups. Subsequently, we used atherosclerosis-prone mice to study the mechanisms underlying the relationship between such species and atherosclerosis. Results: Human fecal 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing revealed a significantly lower abundance of Bacteroides vulgatus and Bacteroides dorei in patients with CAD. This significant differential abundance was confirmed by quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Gavage with live B. vulgatus and B. dorei attenuated atherosclerotic lesion formation in atherosclerosis-prone mice, markedly ameliorating endotoxemia followed by decreasing gut microbial lipopolysaccharide production, effectively suppressing proinflammatory immune responses. Furthermore, fecal lipopolysaccharide levels in patients with CAD were significantly higher and negatively correlated with the abundance of B. vulgatus and B. dorei . Conclusions: Our translational research findings identify a previously unknown link between specific gut bacteria and atherosclerosis. Treatment with live B. vulgatus and B. dorei may help prevent CAD. Clinical Trial Registration: URL: https://upload.umin.ac.jp/cgi-open-bin/ctr_e/ctr_view.cgi?recptno=R000018051 .

Overview

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
In patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), gut abundance of *Bacteroides vulgatus* and *Bacteroides dorei* was lower than in controls without CAD, and fecal lipopolysaccharide (LPS) levels were higher. In atherosclerosis-prone mice, oral gavage with live *B. vulgatus* and *B. dorei* reduced fecal and plasma LPS, dampened inflammation, and attenuated atherosclerotic plaque.
Key findings
- In 30 patients with CAD versus 30 age- and sex-matched controls without CAD but with coronary risk factors, 16S rRNA sequencing showed relative depletion of *B. vulgatus* and *B. dorei* in CAD; qPCR confirmed significantly decreased abundance of these species.
- Fecal LPS levels were significantly higher in patients with CAD than controls, and fecal LPS correlated negatively with *B. vulgatus*/*B. dorei* abundance in CAD (r=−0.541, P=0.002); genus *Bacteroides* showed a trend toward negative correlation (r=−0.227, P=0.0838).
- In apolipoprotein E-deficient mice, gavage with live *B. vulgatus* and *B. dorei* (2.5×10⁹ cfu/100 μL, 5 times/week) significantly reduced aortic root and en face atherosclerotic lesion size, macrophage and CD4⁺ T-cell accumulation, plasma LPS, and proatherogenic cytokines, without significant differences in body weight, plasma cholesterol, or plasma glucose.
- Live *Bacteroides* treatment decreased predicted microbial LPS biosynthesis genes *LpxA* and *LpxD* and dramatically lowered fecal LPS; heat-killed *Bacteroides* did not decrease fecal LPS, aortic sinus plaque, or plasma LPS compared with controls (reported P=0.92, P=0.74, and P=0.93, respectively).
Methods
- Human study: 30 patients with CAD and 30 controls without CAD with coronary risk factors were recruited at Kobe University Hospital between October 2014 and July 2015; fecal samples underwent 16S rRNA gene sequencing (V3–V4 region), qPCR, PICRUSt functional prediction, and limulus amebocyte lysate assay for LPS.
- Mouse study: 6-week-old female apolipoprotein E-deficient mice on C57BL/6 background were randomized to control, live *Bacteroides*, or heat-killed *Bacteroides* groups; mice were gavaged 5 times per week for 10 weeks and euthanized at 16 weeks for atherosclerosis, immune, gut permeability, and LPS analyses.
- Statistical analysis used R, JMP, and Prism; Shapiro-Wilk test, Student’s t test or Mann-Whitney U test, Fisher exact or χ² test, Spearman correlation, one-way ANOVA, and Benjamini-Hochberg adjustment for multiple comparisons.
Limitations
- The paper states that 16S rRNA sequencing has low phylogenetic power at the species level and poor discriminatory power for some genera, and that the human CAD gut microbial analysis was a single-center study with a relatively small number of patients.
- The paper states that controls without CAD did not all undergo coronary angiography, so subclinical CAD may have been present; the limulus amebocyte lysate assay could not measure LPS immunogenicity or the impact of *Bacteroides* on LPS structure/function; mechanisms of atherosclerosis protection by lower LPS were not completely elucidated; mouse and human dominant microbiota differ; and only *B. vulgatus* and *B. dorei* were tested, so more effective strains may exist.
- Evident from the text: the human findings are cross-sectional and cannot establish causality, and the causal evidence comes from a mouse gavage model rather than a human intervention.

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.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-09, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-09 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
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.
