Cesarean delivery and formula feeding have both been implicated as important factors associated with perturbations to the infant gut microbiome. To investigate the functional metabolic response of the infant gut microbial milieu to these factors, we profiled the stool metabolomes of 121 infants from a US pregnancy cohort study at approximately 6 weeks of life and evaluated associations with delivery mode and feeding method. Multivariate analysis of six-week stool metabolomic profiles indicated discrimination by both delivery mode and diet. For diet, exclusively breast-fed infants exhibited metabolomic profiles that were distinct from both exclusively formula-fed and combination-fed infants, which were relatively more similar to each other in metabolomic profile. We also identified individual metabolites that were important for differentiating delivery mode groups and feeding groups and metabolic pathways related to delivery mode and feeding type. We conclude based on previous work and this current study that the microbial communities colonizing the gastrointestinal tracts of infants are not only taxonomically, but also functionally distinct when compared according to delivery mode and feeding groups. Further, different sets of metabolites and metabolic pathways define delivery mode and diet metabotypes.
剖宫产和配方奶喂养都被认为是与婴儿肠道微生物群紊乱相关的重要因素。为了研究婴儿肠道微生物环境对这些因素的功能代谢反应,我们对来自美国一项妊娠队列研究的121名婴儿在大约6周龄时的粪便代谢组进行了分析,并评估了与分娩方式和喂养方式的关联。对六周龄粪便代谢组学图谱的多变量分析表明,分娩方式和饮食都存在差异。在饮食方面,纯母乳喂养的婴儿表现出与纯配方奶喂养和混合喂养婴儿不同的代谢组学图谱,后两者在代谢组学图谱上相对更相似。我们还确定了对区分分娩方式组和喂养组以及与分娩方式和喂养类型相关的代谢途径重要的个体代谢物。基于之前的研究和本研究,我们得出结论,根据分娩方式和喂养组进行比较时,定植于婴儿胃肠道的微生物群落不仅在分类学上,而且在功能上也有所不同。此外,不同的代谢物和代谢途径集合定义了分娩方式和饮食代谢型。
