High-Resolution Taxonomic Characterization Reveals Novel Human Microbial Strains with Potential as Risk Factors and Probiotics for Prediabetes and Type 2 Diabetes

Alterations in the composition of the gut microbiota is thought to play a key role in causing type 2 diabetes, yet is not fully understood, especially at the strain level. Here, we used long-read DNA sequencing technology of 16S-ITS-23S rRNA genes for high-resolution characterization of gut microbio...

description Alterations in the composition of the gut microbiota is thought to play a key role in causing type 2 diabetes, yet is not fully understood, especially at the strain level. Here, we used long-read DNA sequencing technology of 16S-ITS-23S rRNA genes for high-resolution characterization of gut microbiota in the development of type 2 diabetes. Gut microbiota composition was characterized from fecal DNA from 47 participants divided into 4 cohorts based on glycemic control: normal glycemic control (healthy; <i>n</i> = 21), reversed prediabetes (prediabetes/healthy; <i>n</i> = 8), prediabetes (<i>n</i> = 8), or type 2 diabetes (<i>n</i> = 10). A total of 46 taxa were found to be possibly related to progression from healthy state to type 2 diabetes. <i>Bacteroides coprophilus</i> DSM 18228, <i>Bifidobacterium pseudocatenulatum</i> DSM 20438, and <i>Bifidobacterium adolescentis</i> ATCC 15703 could confer resistance to glucose intolerance. On the other hand, <i>Odoribacter laneus</i> YIT 12061 may be pathogenic as it was found to be more abundant in type 2 diabetes participants than other cohorts. This research increases our understanding of the structural modulation of gut microbiota in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes and highlights gut microbiota strains, with the potential for targeted opportunistic pathogen control or consideration for probiotic prophylaxis and treatment.
