The PrePex circumcision device causes ischemic necrosis of the foreskin, raising concerns of anaerobic overgrowth. We compared the subpreputial microbiome of 2 men 7 days after PrePex device placement to that of 145 uncircumcised men in Rakai, Uganda, using 16S ribosomal (rRNA) RNA gene-based quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis and sequencing. PrePex users had higher absolute abundance of all bacteria than uncircumcised men (P = .001), largely due to increased numbers of the following anaerobes: Porphyromonas (5.2 × 10(7) 16S rRNA gene copies/swab in the PrePex group and 1.1 × 10(6) 16S rRNA gene copies/swab in uncircumcised men; P = .002), Peptoniphilus (1.0 × 10(7) and 1.8 × 10(6) 16S rRNA gene copies/swab, respectively; P < .05), Anaerococcus (1.0 × 10(7) and 1.1 × 10(6) 16S rRNA gene copies/swab, respectively; P < .001), and Campylobacter ureolyticus (1.7 × 10(5) and 1.6 × 10(7)16S rRNA gene copies/swab, respectively; P < .001). The PrePex-associated increase in anaerobes may account for unpleasant odor and a possible heightened risk of tetanus.
PrePex包皮环切器械会导致包皮缺血性坏死,引发了对厌氧菌过度生长的担忧。我们使用基于16S核糖体(rRNA)基因的定量聚合酶链反应分析和测序,比较了在乌干达拉凯地区,2名使用PrePex器械7天后的男性与145名未行包皮环切术男性的包皮下微生物群。使用PrePex器械的男性所有细菌的绝对丰度均高于未行包皮环切术的男性(P = 0.001),这主要是由于以下厌氧菌数量增加:卟啉单胞菌(PrePex组每拭子16S rRNA基因拷贝数为5.2×10⁷,未行包皮环切术男性每拭子为1.1×10⁶;P = 0.002)、嗜胨菌(分别为每拭子1.0×10⁷和1.8×10⁶个16S rRNA基因拷贝;P <0.05)、厌氧球菌(分别为每拭子1.0×10⁷和1.1×10⁶个16S rRNA基因拷贝;P <0.001)和解脲弯曲菌(分别为每拭子1.7×10⁵和1.6×10⁷个16S rRNA基因拷贝;P <0.001)。PrePex相关的厌氧菌增加可能导致异味,并可能增加破伤风风险。
