Abstract
:
This study focused on the bacterial analysis in the stool samples of hospitalized patients suffering from carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) infection. The overall hypothesis was to achieve a different complexity of species and certain biomarkers of gut colonization using culture-independent molecular biological approaches in comparison to conventional culture-based microbiology methods. Initially, 20 stool samples were obtained from the patients in the intensive care unit of King Abdulaziz University Hospital, Jeddah. DNA was extracted from stool samples that served as a PCR template to amplify phylogenetically informative 16S rRNA gene across the Domain Bacteria. PCR products were detected in all the studied cases. 20 CRE-positive and negative PCR products were sequenced by using Illumina MiSeq. The results demonstrated a similar bacterial richness between the two groups under antibiotic regimen. The operational taxonomic units (OTUs) reads profiling showed an average of four phyla (Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes, and Actinobacteria) in both groups. The presence of Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonadaceae members was higher in the CRE-positive group whereas Bifidobacteriaceae and Sphingomonadaceae were commonly detected in the CRE-negative group. Keywords: CRE, gut microbiota, 16s rRNA gene, ICU patients, Colonization resistance.
