Abstract Background Intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis (IAP) is widely used, but the evidence of the long-term effects on the gut microbiota and subsequent health of children is limited. Here, we compared the impacts of perinatal antibiotic exposure and later courses of antibiotic courses on gut microbiota. Methods This was a prospective, controlled cohort study among 100 vaginally delivered infants with different perinatal antibiotic exposures: control (27), IAP (27), postnatal antibiotics (24), and IAP and postnatal antibiotics (22). At 1 year of age, we performed next-generation sequencing of the bacterial 16S ribosomal RNA gene of fecal samples. Results Exposure to the perinatal antibiotics had a clear impact on the gut microbiota. The abundance of the Bacteroidetes phylum was significantly higher in the control group, whereas the relative abundance of Escherichia coli was significantly lower in the control group. The impact of the perinatal antibiotics on the gut microbiota composition was greater than exposure to later courses of antibiotics (28% of participants). Conclusions Perinatal antibiotic exposure had a marked impact on the gut microbiota at the age of 1 year. The timing of the antibiotic exposure appears to be the critical factor for the changes observed in the gut microbiota. Impact Infants are commonly exposed to IAP and postnatal antibiotics, and later to courses of antibiotics during the first year of life. Perinatal antibiotics have been associated with an altered gut microbiota during the first months of life, whereas the evidence regarding the long-term impact is more limited. Perinatal antibiotic exposure had a marked impact on the infant’s gut microbiota at 1 year of age. Impact of the perinatal antibiotics on the gut microbiota composition was greater than that of the later courses of antibiotics at the age of 1 year.

Gut Microbiota Composition

In recent years, attention has been given to the role potentially played by gut microbiota in the development of obesity. Several studies have shown that in individuals with obesity, the gut microbiota composition can be significantly different from that of lean individuals, that faecal bacteria can exert a fundamental role in modulating energy metabolism, and that modifications of gut microbiota composition can be associated with increases or reductions of body weight and body mass index. Based on this evidence, manipulation of the gut microbiota with probiotics has been considered a possible method to prevent and treat obesity. However, despite a great amount of data, the use of probiotics to prevent and treat obesity and related problems remains debated. Studies have found that the probiotic effect on body weight and metabolism is strain specific and that only some of the species included in the Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium genera are effective, whereas the use of other strains can be deleterious. However, the dosage, duration of administration, and long-term effects of probiotics administration to prevent overweight and obesity are not known. Further studies are needed before probiotics can be rationally prescribed for the prevention or treatment of obesity. Control of the diet and environmental and life-style factors that favour obesity development remain the best solution to problems related to weight gain.

Gut Microbiota Composition

ABSTRACTThe gut microbiota is essential for human health, but very little is known about how the composition of this ecosystem can influence and respond to bacterial infections. Here we address this by prospectively studying the gut microbiota composition before, during, and after naturalCampylobacterinfection in exposed poultry abattoir workers. The gut microbiota composition was analyzed with 16S amplicon sequencing of fecal samples from poultry abattoir workers during the peak season ofCampylobacterinfection in Sweden. The gut microbiota compositions were compared between individuals who became culture positive forCampylobacterand those who remained negative. Individuals who becameCampylobacterpositive had a significantly higher abundance ofBacteroides(P= 0.007) andEscherichia(P= 0.002) species than those who remained culture negative. Furthermore, this group had a significantly higher abundance ofPhascolarctobacterium(P= 0.017) andStreptococcus(P= 0.034) sequences than theCampylobacter-negative group, which had an overrepresentation ofClostridiales(P= 0.017), unclassifiedLachnospiraceae(P= 0.008), andAnaerovorax(P= 0.015) sequences. Intraindividual comparisons of the fecal microbiota compositions yielded small differences over time inCampylobacter-negative participants, but significant long-term changes were found in theCampylobacter-positive group (P< 0.005). The results suggest that the abundance of specific genera in the microbiota reduces resistance toCampylobactercolonization in humans and thatCampylobacterinfection can have long-term effects on the composition of the human fecal microbiota.IMPORTANCEStudies using mouse models have made important contributions to our understanding of the role of the gut microbiota in resistance to bacterial enteropathogen colonization. The relative abundances ofEscherichia coliandBacteroidesspecies have been pointed out as important determinants of susceptibility to Gram-negative pathogens in general andCampylobacterinfection in particular. In this study, we assessed the role of the human gut microbiota in resistance toCampylobactercolonization by studying abattoir workers that are heavily exposed to these bacteria. Individuals with a certain composition of the gut microbiota became culture positive forCampylobacter. As their microbiotas were characterized by high abundances ofBacteroidesspp. andE. coli, well in line with the findings with mouse models, these bacterial species likely play an important role in colonization resistance also in humans.
