Microbiota profile in new-onset pediatric Crohn’s disease: data from a non-Western population

BACKGROUND: The role of microbiota in Crohn’s disease (CD) is increasingly recognized. However, most of the reports are from Western populations. Considering the possible variation from other populations, the aim of this study was to describe the microbiota profile in children with CD in Saudi Arabi...

Sumario:BACKGROUND: The role of microbiota in Crohn’s disease (CD) is increasingly recognized. However, most of the reports are from Western populations. Considering the possible variation from other populations, the aim of this study was to describe the microbiota profile in children with CD in Saudi Arabia, a non-Western developing country population. RESULTS: Significantly more abundant genera in children with CD included Fusobacterium, Peptostreptococcus, Psychrobacter, and Acinetobacter; whereas the most significantly-depleted genera included Roseburia, Clostridium, Ruminococcus, Ruminoclostridium, Intestinibacter, Mitsuokella, Megasphaera, Streptococcus, Lactobacillus, Turicibacter, and Paludibacter. Alpha diversity was significantly reduced in stool (p = 0.03) but not in mucosa (p = 0.31). Beta diversity showed significant difference in community composition between control and CD samples (p = 0.03). CONCLUSION: In this developing country, we found a pattern of microbiota in children with CD similar to Western literature, suggesting a role of recent dietary lifestyle changes in this population on microbiota structure.
