Characterization and comparison of gut microbiota in patients with acute pancreatitis by metagenomics and culturomics

Abstract excerpt

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common gastrointestinal disorder with a high mortality rate. This study sought to identify the microbial community structure in patients with AP using metagenomics and culturomics. Compared to healthy controls, patients with AP exhibited a significant decrease in alpha diversity; a higher abundance of unclassified Enterococcus species (sp), Enterococcus faecium , and Enterococcus...
