The oral microbiome is unique at inter and intra-individual levels at various sites due to physical and biological factors. This study aimed to compare the bacterial composition of supragingival biofilms collected from enamel sites with different caries activity, from active and inactive-caries subjects, and from caries-free (CF) subjects. Twenty-two individuals (aged between 13 and 76 years old; med = 23.5 years old) were allocated into 3 groups: caries-active (CA) (n = 10), caries-inactive (CI) (n = 6), and CF (n = 6). From the CA group, 3 sites were sampled: CA (active non-cavitated lesion), CI (inactive non-cavitated lesion), and sound enamel surface (S). From the subjects of the CI group, biofilm from a CI lesion was collected (INCL), while for the CF subjects, a pool of biofilm from sound enamel surfaces was sampled. The total RNA was extracted, and cDNA libraries were prepared and paired-end sequenced (Illumina HiSeq 3,000). Final dental biofilm samples analysed from CA was 16 (ANCL-CA = 6, INCL-CA = 4, S-CA = 6); from CI, 3 (INCL-CI = 3); and from CF, 6 (S-CF = 6) (some samples were lost by insufficient genetic material). Read sequences were processed and analysed using the Metagenomics RAST server. High-quality sequences (3,542,190) were clustered into operational taxonomic units (97% identity; SILVA SSU), representing 915 genera belonging to 29 phyla (higher abundant: Actinobacteria, Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, and Fusobacteria). The presence of a core microbiome was observed (123 shared genera). The alpha diversity analysis showed less bacterial diversity in disease (S-CA) compared to health (S-CF). The dominant genera included Actinomyces, Corynebacterium, Capnocytophaga, Leptotrichia, Veillonella, Prevotella, Streptococcus, Eubacterium, and Neisseria. Veillonella and Leptotrichia were related with disease and Prevotella with health. Corynebacterium, Capnocytophaga, and Actinomyces clustered together presenting high abundance in health and disease. The Metric Multidimensional Scaling Ordination analysis shows that sites from active subjects (ANCL-CA, INCL-CA, and S-CA) are closer to each other than either INCL-CI subjects or S-CF subjects. In conclusion, supragingival bacterial communities presented intra-individual similarities, but inter-individual diversity and difference in bacterial composition reveal that the subject's caries activity status matters more than sites.
口腔微生物组在不同部位的个体间和个体内水平是独特的,这是由于物理和生物学因素造成的。本研究旨在比较来自不同龋活性、来自活跃性龋和非活跃性龋以及无龋个体的釉质部位的龈上生物膜的细菌组成。22 名个体(年龄在 13 至 76 岁之间;中位数为 23.5 岁)被分为 3 组:龋活跃性(CA)(n=10)、龋非活跃性(CI)(n=6)和无龋(CF)(n=6)。从 CA 组中,选择了 3 个部位进行采样:CA(活跃性非龋性病变)、CI(非活跃性非龋性病变)和釉质表面正常(S)。从 CI 组的受试者中,采集了 CI 病变部位的生物膜(INCL),而对于 CF 受试者,则采集了来自正常釉质表面的生物膜池。提取总 RNA,制备 cDNA 文库并进行配对末端测序(Illumina HiSeq 3,000)。最终从 CA 分析的口腔生物膜样本为 16 个(ANCL-CA=6,INCL-CA=4,S-CA=6);从 CI 为 3 个(INCL-CI=3);从 CF 为 6 个(S-CF=6)(一些样本因遗传物质不足而丢失)。使用宏基因组 RAST 服务器处理和分析读序列。将高质量序列(3,542,190)聚类为操作分类单元(97%同一性;SILVA SSU),代表 915 个属,属于 29 个门(更高丰度:放线菌门、厚壁菌门、拟杆菌门和梭杆菌门)。观察到核心微生物组的存在(123 个共享属)。α多样性分析显示,与健康(S-CF)相比,疾病(S-CA)的细菌多样性较少。优势属包括放线菌属、棒状杆菌属、卡他莫拉菌属、勒普特氏菌属、韦荣球菌属、普雷沃氏菌属、链球菌属、真杆菌属和奈瑟菌属。韦荣球菌属和勒普特氏菌属与疾病有关,而普雷沃氏菌属与健康有关。棒状杆菌属、卡他莫拉菌属和放线菌属聚集在一起,在健康和疾病中丰度较高。度量多维标度排序分析表明,来自活跃性受试者的部位(ANCL-CA、INCL-CA 和 S-CA)彼此之间比 INCL-CI 受试者或 S-CF 受试者更接近。总之,龈上细菌群落具有个体内相似性,但个体间的多样性和细菌组成的差异表明,受试者的龋活性状态比部位更重要。
