Analysis of 16S rRNA genes reveals reduced Fusobacterial community diversity when translocating from saliva to GI sites.

  • 2020‎

Fusobacterium nucleatum is a Gram-negative oral commensal anaerobe which has been increasingly implicated in various gastrointestinal (GI) disorders, including inflammatory bowel disease, appendicitis, GI cancers. The oral cavity harbors a diverse group of Fusobacterium, and it is postulated that F. nucleatum in the GI tract originate from the mouth. It is not known, however, if all oral Fusobacterium translocate to the GI sites with equal efficiencies. Therefore, we amplified 16S rRNA genes of F. nucleatum and F. periodonticum, two closely related oral species from matched saliva, gastric aspirates, and colon or ileal pouch aspirates of three patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and three healthy controls, and saliva alone from seven patients with either active IBD or IBD in remission. The 16S rRNA gene amplicons were cloned, and the DNA sequences determined by Sanger sequencing. The results demonstrate that fusobacterial community composition differs more significantly between the oral and GI sites than between different individuals. The oral communities demonstrate the highest level of variation and have the richest pool of unique sequences, with certain nodes/strains enriched in the GI tract and others diminished during translocation. The gastric and colon/pouch communities exhibit reduced diversity and are more closely related, possibly due to selective pressure in the GI tract. This study elucidates selective translocation of oral fusobacteria to the GI tract. Identification of specific transmissible clones will facilitate risk assessment for developing Fusobacterium-implicated GI disorders.
