AAD incidence is correlated with serum albumin level and type/duration of antibiotics administered. SCFAs attenuate colon shortening and intestinal pathology, and reinstate functionality of intestinal barrier by upregulating CLDN3/ZO-1 and downregulating PLVAP. Control (ctrl) group harbors an increased abundance of <i>Lactobacillus</i>, AAD group exhibits an enrichment of <i>Enterorhabdus</i>, AAD + low (L)-SCFAs group displays a predominance of <i>Turicibacter</i>, and AAD + high (H)-SCFAs group exerts an enrichment of <i>Clostridium</i> IV. Altogether, SCFAs alleviate colonic inflammation by regulating gut microbial composition, and provide insight into enhancing intestinal SCFAs content to alleviate AAD-induced symptoms in HM patients by modifying dietary structure.</p>","PeriodicalId":19605,"journal":{"name":"Open Life Sciences","volume":"20 1","pages":"20220931"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11909579/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143649767","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
