Abstract
Objective
To investigate the gut microbiota diversity between the elderly supported by institution-based care and home-based care.
Methods
Fresh stool samples were collected from 18 aged persons supported by institution-based care (G1 group), 20 aged persons with home-based care (G2 group) and 20 middle-aged and young adults (G3 group). The V3-V4 hypervariable region of 16S rDNA was amplified and sequenced by next generation sequencing technology. Operational taxonomic units (OTUs) were analyzed by QIIME analysis platform for species annotation, diversity analysis, and inter-group difference analysis. Statistical analysis was performed using RStudio software.
Results
The top 6 microbiological taxa in the three groups were Firmicute, Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Fusobacteria and Verrucomicrobia. The abundance of the Firmicute in the G1 and G2 groups showed significant differences [(61.47±5.58)% vs (76.55±3.64)%, P 0.05). Results of the NMDS analysis showed that the intra-group differences were greater than inter-group differences in G1 and G2 groups.
Conclusions
No significant difference in the diversity of gut microbiota was detected between the elderly supported by institution-based care and home-based care, but there were differences in the composition of the predominant gut microbiota.

期刊介绍:
Chinese Journal of Microbiology and Immunology established in 1981. It is one of the series of journal sponsored by Chinese Medical Association. The aim of this journal is to spread and exchange the scientific achievements and practical experience in order to promote the development of medical microbiology and immunology. Its main contents comprise academic thesis, brief reports, reviews, summaries, news of meetings, book reviews and trends of home and abroad in this field. The distinguishing feature of the journal is to give the priority to the reports on the research of basic theory, and take account of the reports on clinical and practical skills.
