In a study of piglets with short bowel syndrome, probiotic treatment using Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium spp was found to be more beneficial in increasing microbial diversity and beneficial short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) compared to oral metronidazole treatment.
Background Infants and children with short bowel syndrome (SBS) are presumed to be at risk of gut microbial dysbiosis with potential sequelae of bacterial overgrowth that include sepsis, d-lactic acidosis, mucosal inflammation, and malabsorption. In neonatal piglets with SBS, we compared intestinal microbial composition, short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), and adaptation given probiotic (PRO) treatment (Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium spp) vs oral metronidazole (MET). Methods Following 75% distal small intestinal resection, piglets were allocated to PRO (500 mg twice a day, n = 7), MET (15 mg/kg twice a day, n = 8), and placebo (PLA) (500 mg twice a day, n = 8). After 10 days of parenteral and enteral nutrition, 16S ribosomal RNA gene amplicon sequencing (colon tissue and stool) was undertaken and SCFA analysis (stool and colon effluent) was performed using gas chromatography. Results In colon, Shannon diversity was higher for PRO compared with MET and PLA (P = 0.002). PRO and PLA increased abundance of Bacteroidetes species (eg, Bacteroides fragilis) compared with MET (P < 0.001). PRO, compared with PLA, increased abundance of Firmicutes species (eg, Lactobacillus fermentum) (P < 0.001). MET increased abundance of Proteobacteria members, predominately Enterobacteriaceae, compared with PRO (P = 0.004). In stool, microbial findings were similar and SCFA (butyrate) concentrations were highest for PRO (P = 0.003) compared with MET. Conclusion In pediatric SBS, the empiric use of oral antibiotics, such as MET, is common for presumed clinical consequences of microbial dysbiosis. In this study of SBS piglets, that approach was associated with decreased microbial diversity and increased abundance of potentially inflammatory Proteobacteria. In contrast, a PRO treatment using Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium spp increased both diversity and SCFAs.
