Abstract

Abstract Background The gut microbiome represents a promising avenue to elucidate distinct underlying pathophysiology in Crohn's disease (CD).Our aim was to evaluate the composition of the microbiota in Inflammatory B1 and Stricturing B2 Phenotype. Methods We performed 16S ribosomal RNA sequencing on stool samples of 108 patients (64 B1 and 44 B2) included in the Chinese CD cohort and 58 health controls without any inflammatory disorder, in order to explore the structural composition of gut microbiota in different phenotype of CD. Results Comparison of gut microbiota between patients with CD and healthy controls, α diversity and β diversity were statistically different. At the genus level, compared with the normal group, the abundance of Blautia, Bifidobacterium, Faecalibacterium, Collinsella, Coprococcus, Gemmiger, Prevotella, Dialister, Roseburia and Clostridium were decreased significantly in the CD group. In contrast, the abundance of Bacteroides, Ruminococcus, Streptococcus, Enterococcus, Dorea, Escherichia, Phascolarctobacterium, Veillonella and Eubacterium increased significantly. Compared with B1 phenotype, Streptococcus, Collinsella, Veillonella, Coprococcus and Gemmiger were significant decreased in B2 phenotype group. However, Ruminococcus, Dorea, Lactobacillus and Dialister were significant increased. Conclusion Comparison of gut microbiota between patients with CD and healthy controls, α diversity and β diversity were statistically different.
