Project description:We aimed to investigate the microbial community composition in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and its effect on prognosis. The relationship between changes in bacterial flora and the prognosis of spontaneous cerebral hemorrhage was studied in two cohort studies. Fecal samples from healthy volunteers and patients with intracerebral hemorrhage were subjected to 16S rRNA sequencing at three time points: T1 (within 24 hours of admission), T2 (3 days post-surgery), and T3 (7 days post-surgery) using Illumina high-throughput sequencing technology.
Project description:Metagenomic sequencing of mice with different treatments: Mice were randomly divided into donor control group (Donor + MRS), constipation model group (STC + MRS), or a Lactobacillus acidophilus treated group (STC + La): A humanized mouse model was established by intragastric administration of fecal bacterial liquid from healthy donors or STC patients on alternate days, followed by continuous administration of Lactobacillus acidophilus in treatment group. Finally, the feces of each group of mice were collected, and the intestinal microbial communities of the mice were analyzed through metagenomic sequencing. 16S rRNA sequencing of mice before and after the use antibiotics: Before and after treating the mice with antibiotics, the mice's feces were collected for 16s rRNA sequencing respectively.
Project description:Here we report 16S rRNA data in gut microbiota of autism spectrum disorders compared with healthy volunteers. A total of 1322 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) were identified in the sequence data. The Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes were both dominated phylum in ausitic subjects and healthy controls. Phylum level analysis showed a clear alteration of the bacterial gut community in ASD characterized by a higher Firmicutes (P < 0.05), Proteobacteria (P < 0.001), and Actinobacteria (P < 0.001) than that in healthy controls. However, Bacteroidetes were significantly decreased in ASD patients (P < 0.001).
Project description:Chronic acid suppression by proton pump inhibitor (PPI) has been hypothesized to alter the gut microbiota via a change in intestinal pH. To evaluate the changes in gut microbiota composition by long-term PPI treatment. Twenty-four week old F344 rats were fed with (n = 5) or without (n = 6) lansoprazole (PPI) for 50 weeks. Then, profiles of luminal microbiota in the terminal ileum were analyzed. Pyrosequencing for 16S rRNA gene was performed by genome sequencer FLX (454 Life Sciences/Roche) and analyzed by metagenomic bioinformatics.
Project description:We conducted 16S rRNA sequencing analyse on colonic contents to evaluate whether forced loss led to alterations in gut microbiota composition and function.
