This method is more accurate than the NGS 16S rRNA gene-based approach which is multicopy gene. Linear correlation between qPCR assay and cell numbers of a model system was established. Consequently, the assay was performed on oral rinse samples of oral cancer/tobacco chewers and healthy subjects to quantitate significant oral bacterial species. The obtained bacterial quantification correlated well with the previous reports. The developed qPCR method is an efficient, faster and resource-friendly method and can be used to quantify bacterial population in cancer/diseased subjects, and can have application in determining the susceptibility of an individual towards a specific disease.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":36019,"journal":{"name":"Medicine in Microecology","volume":"7 ","pages":"Article 100034"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.medmic.2021.100034","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"106267472","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ascomycota predominated over Basidiomycota in fungal microbiome both in COPD patients and healthy controls. <em>Meyerozyma</em>, <em>Candida</em>, <em>Aspergillus</em> and <em>Schizophyllum</em> were most abundant at the genus level. There was a significant inverse correlation between bacterial and fungal microbial diversity, both of which altered in opposite directions in COPD patients versus controls, and in frequent versus non-frequent exacerbators. An enhanced bacterial-fungal ecological interaction was observed in COPD patients, which was characterized by higher proportion of co-occurrence intrakingdom interactions and co-exclusive interkingdom interactions. In COPD, four mutually co-occurring fungal operational taxonomic units (OTUs) in <em>Candida palmioleophila</em>, <em>Aspergillus</em> and Sordariomycetes exhibited co-exclusive relationships with other fungal OTUs, which was specifically present in frequent exacerbators but not in non-frequent exacerbators. The perturbed bacterial-fungal interactions in COPD were associated with increased airway inflammatory mediators such as IL-6 and IL-8. The disruption of airway bacterial-fungal community balance, characterized by the loss of commensal bacterial taxa and enriched pathogenic fungal taxa, is implicated in COPD.

Development of heart disease or its acceleration is seen in individuals who have coexisting gastrointestinal disorders. Dysbiosed GM (altered gut microbial composition) produce high levels of harmful BSM such as trimethylamine (TMA)/trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO), bile acids (BAs), uremic toxins, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), low concentrations of short chain fatty acids (SCFAs). Intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) in dysbiosed gut synthesize reduced levels of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9), the key regulator of LDL-C clearance.

Decreased production of PCSK9 in the gut may promote imbalance in cholesterol metabolism leading to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). In contrast, in the normal gut the optimum production of PCSK9 show a protective effect on the cardiovascular system by regulating low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) expression and apolipoprotein-B-lipoprotein cholesterol biosynthesis. However, a definitive link between the intestine-derived PCSK9 in cholesterol homeostasis and cardiovascular risk remains poorly understood.

The aetiology of depression is likely multifactorial with biological, psychological and environmental factors. Subsequently, depression can present as a number of different subtypes with varying chronicity and severity. Recently, the gut microbiome has been implicated in many gastrointestinal and extra-gastrointestinal conditions including depression. Neurological systemic effects on host biology via the gut microbiome can occur through the bidirectional link known as the gut-brain axis. Dysbiosis is the imbalance of gut flora which may instigate a dysregulated immune response and lead to disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome. In this case series, depression and irritable bowel syndrome may have a shared pathogenesis. Our study aimed to explore the effects of faecal microbiota transplantation, a procedure in which a healthy donor’s microbiota is transplanted into an unwell recipient, in three cases of concomitant depression and irritable bowel syndrome. A single centre, retrospective medical records review assessed demographics, diagnosis, medications, symptoms and medical history of the cases to determine the outcome of a faecal microbiota transplantation. Despite varying symptom onsets, types and levels of neurological and gastrointestinal symptoms there was an objective improvement in mood, medication and/or symptoms reported by the patient and/or attending physician. These results demonstrate a modest improvement in both depression and irritable bowel syndrome which would benefit from further investigation by randomised controlled trials.
