Microbial dynamics of acute pancreatitis: integrating culture, sequencing, and bile impact on bacterial populations and gaseous metabolites.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Our study examined the composition of the intestinal microflora in a hospitalized patient with AP symptoms treated several months earlier for diverticulitis. The therapeutic intervention necessitated Hartmann's procedure, culminating in colostomy creation.

Aims

Employing a thorough microbiological analysis we attempted to demonstrate whether the microflora isolated from the peripancreatic fluid exhibited a stronger correlation with the contents of the stoma or with the rectal swab. Additionally, we sought to determine the association between later onset of AP and diverticulitis.

Methods

Following clinical materials from the patient in the initial phase of AP were collected: rectal swab, colostomy bag contents (in the publication referred to as stoma content
