Imbalanced microbiota may contribute to the pathophysiology of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), thus fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has been suggested as a potential treatment. Previous studies on the relationship between clinical improvement and microbiota after FMT have been inconclusive. In this study, we used 16S rRNA gene amplicon and shotgun metagenomics data from a randomized, placebo controlled FMT trial on 49 IBS patients to analyze changes after FMT in microbiota composition and its functional potential, and to identify connections between microbiota and patients' clinical outcome. As a result, we found that the successful modulation of microbiota composition and functional profiles by FMT from a healthy donor was not associated with the resolution of symptoms in IBS patients. Notably, a donor derived strain of Prevotella copri dominated the microbiota in those patients in the FMT group who had a low relative abundance of P. copri pre-FMT. The results highlight the multifactorial nature of IBS and the role of recipient's microbiota in the colonization of donor's strains.
肠道微生物失衡可能导致肠易激综合征(IBS)的病理生理学改变,因此粪便微生物群移植(FMT)已被提议作为一种潜在的治疗方法。先前关于 FMT 后临床改善与微生物群之间关系的研究尚无定论。在这项研究中,我们使用了来自 49 名 IBS 患者的随机、安慰剂对照 FMT 试验的 16S rRNA 基因扩增子和 shotgun 宏基因组学数据,分析了 FMT 后微生物群落组成及其功能潜力的变化,并确定了微生物群与患者临床结果之间的联系。结果发现,来自健康供体的 FMT 对微生物群落组成和功能谱的成功调节与 IBS 患者症状的缓解无关。值得注意的是,在 FMT 组中,那些 P. copri 丰度较低的患者的肠道微生物群中,Prevotella copri 的一种供体衍生菌株占主导地位。这些结果突出了 IBS 的多因素性质和受体微生物群在供体菌株定植中的作用。
