Metagenomics reveals functional profiles of gut microbiota during the recovery phase of acute pancreatitis

Abstract excerpt

Gut microbiota play a critical pathogenic role in acute pancreatitis (AP). This study aimed to investigate the composition and function of gut microbiota during the recovery phase of AP. Rectal swab samples obtained from 12 AP patients of varying severity during both the acute and recovery phases were sequenced using shotgun metagenomic sequencing. We analysed α-diversity, enterotypes, and the dominant microbiome...
