Enteral nutrition for children is supplied through nasogastric or gastrostomy tubes. Diet not only influences nutritional intake but also interacts with the composition and function of the gut microbiota. Homemade blenderized tube feeding has been administered to children receiving enteral nutrition, in addition to ready-made tube feeding. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the oral/gut microbial communities in children receiving enteral nutrition with or without homemade blenderized tube feeding. Among a total of 30 children, 6 receiving mainly ready-made tube feeding (RTF) and 5 receiving mainly homemade blenderized tube feeding (HBTF) were analyzed in this study. Oral and gut microbiota community profiles were evaluated through 16S rRNA sequencing of saliva and fecal samples. The α-diversity representing the number of observed features, Shannon index, and Chao1 in the gut were significantly increased in HBTF only in the gut microbiome but not in the oral microbiome. In addition, the relative abundances of the phylum , class , and genus were significantly low, whereas that of the genus was significantly high in the gut of children with HBTF, indicating HBTF altered the gut microbial composition and reducing health risks. Metagenome prediction showed enrichment of carbon fixation pathways in prokaryotes at oral and gut microbiomes in children receiving HBTF. In addition, more complex network structures were observed in the oral cavity and gut in the HBTF group than in the RTF group. In conclusion, HBTF not only provides satisfaction and enjoyment during meals with the family but also alters the gut microbial composition to a healthy state.
儿童肠内营养通过鼻胃管或胃造口管提供。饮食不仅影响营养摄入,还与肠道微生物群的组成和功能相互作用。除了成品管饲外,自制匀浆管饲也已应用于接受肠内营养的儿童。本研究的目的是评估接受或未接受自制匀浆管饲的肠内营养儿童的口腔/肠道微生物群落。在总共30名儿童中,本研究分析了6名主要接受成品管饲(RTF)和5名主要接受自制匀浆管饲(HBTF)的儿童。通过对唾液和粪便样本进行16S rRNA测序来评估口腔和肠道微生物群群落特征。仅在肠道微生物组中,代表观察到的特征数量、香农指数和Chao1的α多样性在接受HBTF的儿童肠道中显著增加,而在口腔微生物组中未增加。此外,在接受HBTF的儿童肠道中,门、纲和属的相对丰度显著较低,而属的相对丰度显著较高,这表明HBTF改变了肠道微生物组成并降低了健康风险。宏基因组预测显示,接受HBTF的儿童口腔和肠道微生物组中原核生物的碳固定途径富集。此外,与RTF组相比,HBTF组在口腔和肠道中观察到更复杂的网络结构。总之,HBTF不仅在与家人用餐时提供满足感和愉悦感,还能将肠道微生物组成改变为健康状态。
