This study aimed to investigate the changes in oropharyngeal microbiota in infants with cystic fibrosis (CF) early in life and its relationship with growth, antibiotic use, and other clinical variables. The results showed that age had a greater impact on the oropharyngeal microbiota of CF infants than clinical variables such as antibiotic use.
Background: Changes in upper airway microbiota may impact early disease manifestations in infants with cystic fibrosis (CF). To investigate early airway microbiota, the microbiota present in the oropharynx of CF infants over the first year of life was assessed along with the relationships between microbiota and growth, antibiotic use and other clinical variables.Methods: Oropharyngeal (OP) swabs were collected longitudinally between 1 and 12 months of age from infants diagnosed with CF by newborn screen and enrolled in the Baby Observational and Nutrition Study (BONUS). DNA extraction was performed after enzymatic digestion of OP swabs. Total bacterial load was determined by qPCR and community composition assessed using 16S rRNA gene analysis (V1/V2 region). Changes in diversity with age were evaluated using mixed models with cubic B-splines. Associations between clinical variables and bacterial taxa were determined using a canonical correlation analysis. Results: 1,052 OP swabs collected from 205 infants with CF were analyzed. Most infants (77%) received at least one course of antibiotics during the study and 131 OP swabs were collected while the infant was prescribed an antibiotic. Alpha diversity increased with age and was only marginally impacted by antibiotic use. Community composition was most highly correlated with age and was only moderately correlated with antibiotic exposure, feeding method and weight z-scores. Relative abundance of Streptococcus decreased while Neisseria and other taxa increased over the first year.Conclusions: Age was more influential on the oropharyngeal microbiota of infants with CF than clinical variables including antibiotics in the first year of life.& COPY; 2023 Published by Elsevier B.V. on behalf of European Cystic Fibrosis Society.
