Abstract:
Objective To investigate the beneficial role of synbiotics in the intestinal microbiota of patients with chronic functional constipation (CFC).Methods According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria,6 patients with CFC were enrolled with their fresh fecal samples collected,after a continuous treatment of one month their fresh fecal samples collected again.Meanwhile,6 healthy volunteers were enrolled as the control group with their fresh fecal samples collected.All samples were transported with ice and stored in -80 ℃ refrigerator,and were analyzed by metagenomics sequencing.Results After 4 weeks of symbiotic treatment,the intestinal microbiota had changed in species in patients with CFC.Bacteria of Escherichia_ coli,Clostridium_ sp._ SS2/1 and Clostridium_ sp._ 7_ 3_ 54FAA,which were rich in the people with constipation,decreased in abundance after the treatment.Bacteria of Lactobacillus_ oris and Bifidobacterium _ animalis,which were rich in the healthy people,increased in content after the treatment.Bacteria of Veillonella_ parvula,Veillonella_ sp._ 6_ 1_ 27,Veillonella_ sp._ 3 _ 1_ 44 which were rich in the healthy people,decreased in content after the treatment.LEfSe analysis showed that Parabacteroides distaso nis,Escherichia_ coli and Enterobacter-cloacae were the specific species of the three groups respectively.Conclusion Synbiotics can change the intestinal microbiota showing therapeutic effect,thus can be used as a novel clinical treatment method.
