Salivary Microbiome Profile of Diabetes and Periodontitis in a Chinese Population

Abstract

AimThere is a bidirectional association between diabetes and periodontitis. However, the effect of diabetes on the periodontitis salivary microbiota has not been elucidated. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the presence of diabetes on the microbiota among Chinese patients with periodontitis.Materials and MethodsUnstimulated whole saliva samples were collected from the periodontitis with diabetes group (TC), chronic periodontitis group (CP), and periodontally healthy and systemically healthy group (H) by spitting method. Bacterial genomic DNA was PCR-amplified at the V4 variable region of 16S rRNA gene. The library was constructed according to the obtained sequence results, and biological analysis and statistical analysis were carried out. Functional prediction of three groups of microbial communities was performed by the PICRUSt algorithm.ResultsThere was no significant difference in bacterial diversity between the TC and CP groups. Compared with the H group, the TC group and CP group presented a higher diversity of salivary flora. Firmicutes, Streptococcus, Haemophilus, Veillonella, and Haemophilus parainfluenzae dominated the H group. Corynebacterium, Leptotrichia, Dialister, Comamonas, Capnocytophaga, Catonella, Filifactor, Campylobacter, Treponema, Campylobacter concisus, Prevotella oralis, and Porphyromonas gingivalis were significantly enriched in the TC and CP groups. Among them, Treponema and P. oralis were the most abundant in the TC group. The PICRUSt results showed that many pathways related to cell motility and functional metabolism of the salivary microbial flora changed in the TC group and the CP group.ConclusionsDiabetes was not the main factor causing the altered diversity of salivary microbiota in patients with periodontitis; however, the presence of diabetes altered the abundance of some microbiota in saliva.

Periodontal disease is associated with increased gut colonization of pathogenic Haemophilus parainfluenzae in patients with Crohn’s disease

“…Prior studies consistently showed that oral H. parainfluenzae is decreased in PD. 28 , 29 The strain-level analysis allowed for the detection of biologically relevant strains that could play an essential role in the disease pathogenesis. However, whether the F3p strain affects the pathogenesis of PD remains debatable and more studies are needed to test the clinical relevance of salivary H. parainfluenzae F3p strains.…”

Respiratory Microbiome in Health and Disease

“…The beta diversity has been evaluated through principal coordinates analysis (PCoA) ordination of variance and compared using Bray-Curtis dissimilarity. Differential species among groups was explored with the linear discriminant analysis (LDA) effect size (LEfSe) method (Shi et al, 2021) and DESeq2 analysis (Lu et al, 2022). The microbiome phenotypes were predicted by BugBase (Ward et al, 2017).…”

“…Dickson et al revealed that Klebsiella pneumoniae overgrowth in the lung was strongly associated with ARDS . In addition, Klebsiella pneumoniae infection can influence both the gut microbiome and lung metabolome Jiang et al, 2022). After inoculation of mice with Klebsiella pneumoniae, the diversity and composition of the gut microbiota changed and contributed to lung microbiota dysbiosis within several hours (Jiang et al, 2022).…”

Electroacupuncture regulates macrophage, neutrophil, and oral microbiota to alleviate alveolar bone loss and inflammation in experimental ligature‐induced periodontitis

“…Previous researches on a bi‐species biological model of Streptococcus and Veillonella found that the presence of Veillonella promotes Streptococcus pyogenes , Streptococcus gordonii , and Streptococcus salivarius (Chalmers et al, 2008; Mashima & Nakazawa, 2014). In addition, both Veillonella and Streptococcus also dominate the oral cavity of people with high sugar intake and cigarette smokers with depression and influence the balance of the oral microbiota and the host's health (Al Bataineh et al, 2022; Angarita‐Díaz et al, 2022; Lu et al, 2022). Network analysis also found a strong positive correlation between OS.Veillonella and CTSK.…”
