Résumé

The gut microbiota plays an important role in shaping the immune system and may be closely connected to the development of allergic diseases. This study aimed to determine the gut microbiota composition in Chinese allergic rhinitis (AR) patients as compared with healthy controls (HCs). We collected stool samples from 93 AR patients and 72 age- and sex-matched HCs. Gut microbiota composition was analyzed using QIIME targeting the 16S rRNA gene. Functional pathways were predicted using Phylogenetic Investigation of Communities by Reconstruction of Unobserved States. Statistical analysis was performed using the Compared with HCs, AR patients had significantly lower gut-microbiota α-diversity ( A comparison of the gut microbiota of AR patients and HCs suggested that dysbiosis of the fecal microbiota is involved in the development of AR. The present results may reveal key differences and identify targets for preventive or therapeutic intervention.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
The gut microbiota plays an important role in shaping the immune system and may be closely connected to the development of allergic diseases.
OBJECTIVE OBJECTIVE
This study aimed to determine the gut microbiota composition in Chinese allergic rhinitis (AR) patients as compared with healthy controls (HCs).
METHODS METHODS
We collected stool samples from 93 AR patients and 72 age- and sex-matched HCs. Gut microbiota composition was analyzed using QIIME targeting the 16S rRNA gene. Functional pathways were predicted using Phylogenetic Investigation of Communities by Reconstruction of Unobserved States. Statistical analysis was performed using the
RESULTS RESULTS
Compared with HCs, AR patients had significantly lower gut-microbiota α-diversity (
CONCLUSION CONCLUSIONS
A comparison of the gut microbiota of AR patients and HCs suggested that dysbiosis of the fecal microbiota is involved in the development of AR. The present results may reveal key differences and identify targets for preventive or therapeutic intervention.
