Pseudomonas-specific 16S rRNA insect gut-microbiome profiling using next-generation sequencing.

ABSTRACT: We present a detailed protocol for Pseudomonas-specific 16S rRNA gut-microbiome profiling of brown planthopper (BPH) populations collected across changing climates and geographical locations using next-generation sequencing. We provide a technique for comparative analysis of Pseudomonas species structure and composition across BPH populations. Additionally, using qPCR we quantify the titers of Pseudomonas species in BPH. This protocol can be adopted for analyzing microbiome dynamics and monitoring populations of other pests, a crucial aspect for understanding their biodiversity, speciation, and adaptations. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Gupta et al. (2022).¹.

LogMPIE, pan-India profiling of the human gut microbiome using 16S rRNA sequencing.

Project description:The "Landscape Of Gut Microbiome - Pan-India Exploration", or LogMPIE study, is the first large-scale, nationwide record of the Indian gut microbiome. The primary objective of the study was to identify and map the Indian gut microbiome baseline. This observational study was conducted across 14 geographical locations in India. Enrolled subjects were uniformly distributed across geographies (north, east, west and south) and body mass index (obese and non-obese). Furthermore, factors influencing the microbiome, such as age and physical activity, were also considered in the study design. The LogMPIE study recorded data from 1004 eligible subjects and reported 993 unique microorganisms across the Indian microbiome diaspora. The data not only map the Indian gut microbiome baseline but also function as a useful resource to study, analyse and identify signatures characterizing the physiological dispositions of the subjects. Furthermore, they provide insight into the unique features describing the Indian microbiome. The data are open and may be accessed from the European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) portal of the European Bioinformatics Institute (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/data/view/PRJEB25642).

Investigation of the Impact of Antibiotic Administration on the Preterm Infants' Gut Microbiome Using Next-Generation Sequencing-Based 16S rRNA Gene Analysis.

Project description:Background: The human gut microbiota is an extensive population of microorganisms, and it shows significant variations between periods of optimal health and periods of illness. Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) and carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) are both pathogenic agents (BPAs) that can colonize in the gut after dysbiosis of microbiotal composition following antibiotic treatment. Methods: This study aimed to investigate the impact of antibiotics on the microbiotal composition of the gut. For this purpose, the first pass meconiums of 20 patients and the first rectal swabs containing BPAs of the same patients after antibiotic treatment were studied using next-generation sequencing-based 16S rRNA gene analysis. The V1-V9 region of 16S rRNA was sequenced with Oxford Nanopore. Results: Twenty-five phyla were detected in the meconiums, and 12 of them were absent after antibiotic treatment. The four most prevalent phyla in meconiums were Bacillota, Pseudomonadota, Bacteroidota, and Actinomycetota. Only the relative abundance of Pseudomonadota was increased, while a significant decrease was observed in the other three phyla (p < 0.05). A significant decrease was observed in alpha-diversity in rectal swabs containing BPAs versus meconiums (p = 0.00408), whereas an increased variance was observed in beta-diversity in all samples (p < 0.05). As a result of a LEfSe analysis, Pseudomonadota was found to have a higher relative abundance in rectal swabs, and Bacillota was significantly higher in the meconiums of the twins. Conclusions: Our study strongly verified the relationship between the administration of antibiotics, dysbiosis, and colonization of BPAs in the infants' gut microbiota. Further research would be beneficial and needed, comprising the natural development process of the infants' gut microbiota.

Application of 16S rRNA next generation sequencing in ticks in Greece.

Project description:Tick-borne bacteria pose a significant threat to human and veterinary public health. Greece is a Mediterranean country with rich tick fauna and the most commonly detected tick-borne bacterial pathogens are members of the Rickettsia and Anaplasma species. The variable V2-V4 and V6-V9 regions of 16S rRNA gene of seven ticks belonging to four genera representative in Greece (Ixodes, Rhipicephalus, Dermacentor, Haemophyssalis) were analysed using multiple primer pairs by next generation sequencing (NGS). Nine bacterial phyla corresponding to 95 families, 116 genera and 172 species were identified. Proteobacteria was the predominant phylum in five of the seven ticks, followed by Actinobacteria, which predominated in two ticks. The tick-borne bacteria included Rickettsia and Anaplasma species, while "Candidatus Midichloria mitochondrii" were detected in high abundance in I. ricinus ticks and less in Rhipicephalus bursa; Coxiella-like endosymbionts were detected in Rh. sanguineus, H. parva, and less in Rh. bursa ticks. Co-infections with Rickettsia and Anaplasma were also observed. 16S rRNA NGS is a powerful tool to investigate the tick bacteriome and can improve the strategies for prevention and control of tick-borne diseases.

Performance comparison of Illumina and ion torrent next-generation sequencing platforms for 16S rRNA-based bacterial community profiling.

Project description:High-throughput sequencing of the taxonomically informative 16S rRNA gene provides a powerful approach for exploring microbial diversity. Here we compare the performances of two common "benchtop" sequencing platforms, Illumina MiSeq and Ion Torrent Personal Genome Machine (PGM), for bacterial community profiling by 16S rRNA (V1-V2) amplicon sequencing. We benchmarked performance by using a 20-organism mock bacterial community and a collection of primary human specimens. We observed comparatively higher error rates with the Ion Torrent platform and report a pattern of premature sequence truncation specific to semiconductor sequencing. Read truncation was dependent on both the directionality of sequencing and the target species, resulting in organism-specific biases in community profiles. We found that these sequencing artifacts could be minimized by using bidirectional amplicon sequencing and an optimized flow order on the Ion Torrent platform. Results of bacterial community profiling performed on the mock community and a collection of 18 human-derived microbiological specimens were generally in good agreement for both platforms; however, in some cases, results differed significantly. Disparities could be attributed to the failure to generate full-length reads for particular organisms on the Ion Torrent platform, organism-dependent differences in sequence error rates affecting classification of certain species, or some combination of these factors. This study demonstrates the potential for differential bias in bacterial community profiles resulting from the choice of sequencing platform alone.

Microbiota Analysis Using Two-step PCR and Next-generation 16S rRNA Gene Sequencing.

Project description:The human gut is colonized by trillions of bacteria that support physiologic functions such as food metabolism, energy harvesting, and regulation of the immune system. Perturbation of the healthy gut microbiome has been suggested to play a role in the development of inflammatory diseases, including multiple sclerosis (MS). Environmental and genetic factors can influence the composition of the microbiome; therefore, identification of microbial communities linked with a disease phenotype has become the first step towards defining the microbiome's role in health and disease. Use of 16S rRNA metagenomic sequencing for profiling bacterial community has helped in advancing microbiome research. Despite its wide use, there is no uniform protocol for 16S rRNA-based taxonomic profiling analysis. Another limitation is the low resolution of taxonomic assignment due to technical difficulties such as smaller sequencing reads, as well as use of only forward (R1) reads in the final analysis due to low quality of reverse (R2) reads. There is need for a simplified method with high resolution to characterize bacterial diversity in a given biospecimen. Advancements in sequencing technology with the ability to sequence longer reads at high resolution have helped to overcome some of these challenges. Present sequencing technology combined with a publicly available metagenomic analysis pipeline such as R-based Divisive Amplicon Denoising Algorithm-2 (DADA2) has helped advance microbial profiling at high resolution, as DADA2 can assign sequence at the genus and species levels. Described here is a guide for performing bacterial profiling using two-step amplification of the V3-V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene, followed by analysis using freely available analysis tools (i.e., DADA2, Phyloseq, and METAGENassist). It is believed that this simple and complete workflow will serve as an excellent tool for researchers interested in performing microbiome profiling studies.

16S rRNA Next Generation Sequencing Analysis Shows Bacteria in Alzheimer's Post-Mortem Brain.

Project description:The neurological deterioration associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD), involving accumulation of amyloid-beta peptides and neurofibrillary tangles, is associated with evident neuroinflammation. This is now seen to be a significant contributor to pathology. Recently the tenet of the privileged status of the brain, regarding microbial compromise, has been questioned, particularly in terms of neurodegenerative diseases. It is now being considered that microbiological incursion into the central nervous system could be either an initiator or significant contributor to these. This is a novel study using 16S ribosomal gene-specific Next generation sequencing (NGS) of extracted brain tissue. A comparison was made of the bacterial species content of both frozen and formaldehyde fixed sections of a small cohort of Alzheimer-affected cases with those of cognitively unimpaired (normal). Our findings suggest an increase in bacterial populations in Alzheimer brain tissue compared with normal.

16S rRNA Gene Sequencing for Deciphering the Colorectal Cancer Gut Microbiome: Current Protocols and Workflows.

Project description:The human gut holds the densest microbiome ecosystem essential in maintaining a healthy host physiology, whereby disruption of this ecosystem has been linked to the development of colorectal cancer (CRC). The advent of next-generation sequencing technologies such as the 16S rRNA gene sequencing has enabled characterization of the CRC gut microbiome architecture in an affordable and culture-free approach. Nevertheless, the lack of standardization in handling and storage of biospecimens, nucleic acid extraction, 16S rRNA gene primer selection, length, and depth of sequencing and bioinformatics analyses have contributed to discrepancies found in various published studies of this field. Accurate characterization of the CRC microbiome found in different stages of CRC has the potential to be developed into a screening tool in the clinical setting. This mini review aims to concisely compile all available CRC microbiome studies performed till end of 2016 and to suggest standardized protocols that are crucial in developing a gut microbiome screening panel for CRC.

Analysis of the mouse gut microbiome using full-length 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing.

Project description:Demands for faster and more accurate methods to analyze microbial communities from natural and clinical samples have been increasing in the medical and healthcare industry. Recent advances in next-generation sequencing technologies have facilitated the elucidation of the microbial community composition with higher accuracy and greater throughput than was previously achievable; however, the short sequencing reads often limit the microbial composition analysis at the species level due to the high similarity of 16S rRNA amplicon sequences. To overcome this limitation, we used the nanopore sequencing platform to sequence full-length 16S rRNA amplicon libraries prepared from the mouse gut microbiota. A comparison of the nanopore and short-read sequencing data showed that there were no significant differences in major taxonomic units (89%) except one phylotype and three taxonomic units. Moreover, both sequencing data were highly similar at all taxonomic resolutions except the species level. At the species level, nanopore sequencing allowed identification of more species than short-read sequencing, facilitating the accurate classification of the bacterial community composition. Therefore, this method of full-length 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing will be useful for rapid, accurate and efficient detection of microbial diversity in various biological and clinical samples.

Analysis of 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing options on the Roche/454 next-generation titanium sequencing platform.

Project description:Background16S rRNA gene pyrosequencing approach has revolutionized studies in microbial ecology. While primer selection and short read length can affect the resulting microbial community profile, little is known about the influence of pyrosequencing methods on the sequencing throughput and the outcome of microbial community analyses. The aim of this study is to compare differences in output, ease, and cost among three different amplicon pyrosequencing methods for the Roche/454 Titanium platformMethodology/principal findingsThe following three pyrosequencing methods for 16S rRNA genes were selected in this study: Method-1 (standard method) is the recommended method for bi-directional sequencing using the LIB-A kit; Method-2 is a new option designed in this study for unidirectional sequencing with the LIB-A kit; and Method-3 uses the LIB-L kit for unidirectional sequencing. In our comparison among these three methods using 10 different environmental samples, Method-2 and Method-3 produced 1.5-1.6 times more useable reads than the standard method (Method-1), after quality-based trimming, and did not compromise the outcome of microbial community analyses. Specifically, Method-3 is the most cost-effective unidirectional amplicon sequencing method as it provided the most reads and required the least effort in consumables management.ConclusionsOur findings clearly demonstrated that alternative pyrosequencing methods for 16S rRNA genes could drastically affect sequencing output (e.g. number of reads before and after trimming) but have little effect on the outcomes of microbial community analysis. This finding is important for both researchers and sequencing facilities utilizing 16S rRNA gene pyrosequencing for microbial ecological studies.
