概括
对于复发性Clostridioides difficile感染 (rCDI) 的便微生物种移植 (FMT) 可能不那么有效,如果捐赠微生物与接受者环境不匹配. 这种不匹配会导致更少的有益代谢物,影响CDI的治疗结果.
科学领域:
- 微生物学 微生物学
- 胃肠病学 胃肠病学
- 免疫学 免疫学 免疫学
背景情况:
- 肠道微生物提供了对Clostridioides difficile感染 (CDI) 和复发性CDI (rCDI) 的殖民抵抗力.
- 便微生物群移植 (FMT) 通过恢复微生物群落,成功治疗rCDI,但其机制尚未完全理解.
- 抗生素的使用破坏了肠道微生物群,增加了CDI和rCDI的风险.
研究的目的:
- 在rCDI的小鼠模型中研究人类与小鼠捐赠者的微生物组恢复和FMT的疗效.
- 了解FMT治疗rCDI的有效性背后的机制.
- 为了确定影响FMT有效性的因素,除了微生物组成之外.
主要方法:
- 16S rRNA基因测序和元基因组测序用于分析微生物的组成和功能.
- 代谢分析以确定肠道环境中的关键代谢物.
- 复发性Clostridioides difficile感染 (rCDI) 的小鼠模型,以评估FMT的疗效.
主要成果:
- 人类衍生的FMT在清除C. difficile方面效果不佳,与小鼠衍生的FMT相比.
- 尽管恢复了多样性和功能,但人类的FMT显示出二次代谢产物缺乏.
- 在FMT后的微生物恢复受到供体来源和受体环境的影响.
结论:
- 对rCDI的FMT疗效可能受到捐赠者-接受者微生物环境不匹配的限制.
- 微生物代谢产物,特别是二次代谢产物的缺陷可能会影响FMT的成功.
- 额外的宿主和环境因素对于成功的基于FMT的rCDI治疗至关重要.

Introduction to the Human Microbiota
209
Microorganisms colonize various regions of the human body, including the mouth, nasal passages, throat, stomach, intestines, urogenital tract, and skin. The total number of microbial cells is estimated to range from 10¹³ to 10¹⁴—comparable to, or exceeding, the number of human somatic cells. This host–microbiome relationship has led to the conceptualization of humans as supraorganisms, wherein microbial communities perform vital roles in development, immunity,...

Development of Human Microbiota
61
The human microbiota begins developing at birth and undergoes continual change as we age. Infancy marks a critical period of microbial sensitivity, offering a “window of opportunity” during which beneficial microbes help mature the immune system. By age three, children typically develop a more stable and diverse microbial community. Newborns acquire microbes from their immediate environment; vaginal delivery favors maternal vaginal microbes, while cesarean births favor microbes from...

Microbiota of the Stomach and Small Intestine
77
The human gastrointestinal (GI) tract is characterized by distinct physicochemical conditions that shape its microbial communities. Among these, the stomach presents a particularly challenging environment for microbial colonization due to its highly acidic pH, ranging from 1 to 3. This extreme acidity effectively limits microbial density. However, certain acid-tolerant microorganisms are capable of surviving in this niche. Notably, Helicobacter pylori can colonize the gastric mucosa,...

Microbiota of the Large Intestine
98
The large intestine hosts the most densely populated microbial ecosystem in the human body. This complex community primarily consists of anaerobic bacteria, with Bacillota (formerly Firmicutes) and Bacteroidota (formerly Bacteroidetes) as the predominant groups. The distribution of these microbes varies along different sections of the large intestine, influenced by local environmental factors such as oxygen availability and nutrient composition.The cecum, located at the beginning of the large...

Functions of the Gut Microbiota
233
The gut microbiota includes trillions of microorganisms that colonize the human gastrointestinal tract, including bacteria, archaea, viruses, and fungi. This complex ecosystem plays a critical role in maintaining intestinal and systemic health. Most of these microbes inhabit the large intestine, establishing a relatively stable and diverse community that contributes to gut homeostasis through various metabolic, immunological, and protective mechanisms.Dominant bacterial phyla, such as...
