The Intestinal Microbiota Composition in Early and Late Stages of Diabetic Kidney Disease.

ABSTRACT: Many studies have suggested that gut microbiota dysbiosis may be one of the pathogenesis factors of diabetes mellitus (DM), while it is not clear whether it is involved in the development of diabetic kidney diseases (DKD). The objective of this study was to determine bacterial taxa biomarkers during the progression of DKD by investigating bacterial compositional changes in early and late DKD. 16S rRNA gene sequencing was performed on fecal samples, including the diabetes mellitus (DM), DNa (early DKD), and DNb (late DKD) groups. Taxonomic annotation of microbial composition was performed. Samples were sequenced on the Illumina NovaSeq platform. At the genus level, we found counts of Fusobacterium, Parabacteroides, and Ruminococcus_gnavus were significantly elevated bot
