4 Phylogenetic catalogues based on 16S rrna (gene) sequences Reference to ribosomal database project II permits phylogenetic classification of sequences. Determine biodiversity. Unclassified Bacteroidetes clone frequencies detected in association with bowel biopsies from NEWLY DIAGNOSED, UNTREATED patients (CD = 20, UC = 15) and controls (14) P < CONTROLS UC CD Clones = (63) (234) (276) GROUP Bibiloni et al., 2006, Journal of Medical Microbiology 55:

5 Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH)/Flow cytometry (FC) Six oligonucleotide probes that target specific sequences in 16S rrna. The probes detect phylogenetic groups of bacteria commonly present in faeces. Labeled with fluorescent dyes. FC counts the number of fluorescing cells. Bacterial groups expressed as % of total community (Eub338 probe). The six probes cover ~75% of the bowel community of healthy humans. The remaining ~25% is referred to as the phylogenetic gap.

7 Inter-subject variability = a normal range of microbiota compositions. Fecal microbiota composition determined by FISH/FACS. Ninety one healthy, European subjects. Proportions of 12 bacterial groups colorcoded.

8 Ileal pouch-anal anastomosis CP ANTIBIOTICS CP NO ANTIBIOTICS FAP NO ANTIBIOTICS n = 17 n = 15 Pouchitis - can be treated with antibiotics. Total bacterial numbers the same whether CP no antibiotic, CP antibiotic, or FAP (log per gram of stool). Patient group The phylogenetic gap is greater in pouchitis. This means that CP pouches contain bacteria not usually predominant in normal feces. Antibiotic treatment reduces the number of these bacteria (P <0.0001).

14 Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and bowel inflammation. Inflammation mainly of axial, particularly the sacroiliac, joints. Most patients are HLA-B27 positive. Between 5 and 10% of cases of AS are associated with IBD, either CD or UC. A much larger percentage of AS patients have subclinical gut inflammation manifested either by endoscopic findings or by histology. Rudwaleit & Baeten, 2006, Best Practice & Research Clinical Rheumatology 20:

21 In summary - Nucleic acid-based analytical methods have potential in discriminating between microbiota of different compositions. Experimental animal and human studies point to Bacteroides as worthy of further study in IBD and related conditions, especially where the objective is to obtain functional rather than phylogenetic knowledge.
