ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
To compare the subgingival microbiota of patients with aggressive (AgP) or chronic periodontitis (CP) to healthy (H), non-periodontitis patients as well as to explore their relevant associations to different host genetic variants.METHODS:
Following clinical examination, blood and subgingival plaque sampling of 471 study participants (125 AgP, 121 CP, 225 H), subgingival community analysis was performed by next generation sequencing of the 16S rRNA. Microbial data from 266 participants (75 AgP, 95 CP, 98 H) were available for analysis. SNPs in the IL6, IL6R and FTO gene were selected for genetic marker analyses.RESULTS:
Combined periodontitis patients (AgP + CP), particularly those classified with AgP, exhibited lower alpha- and beta- diversity. Several genera (including Peptostreptococcaceae, Filifactor, Desulfobulbus, Tannerella and Lachnospiracee) and species were over-abundant in combined periodontitis vs. healthy individuals, while other genera such as Prevotella or Dialister were found to be more abundant in healthy cases. The only genus with difference in abundance between AgP and CP was Granulicatella. No associations between IL6, IL6RA and FTO genetic variants and microbial findings were detected.CONCLUSION:
This study suggests that limited microbial differences existed between AgP and CP and challenges the current notion that periodontitis is associated with increased subgingival microbial diversity compared with periodontal health. CLINICALSIGNIFICANCE:
The findings of this study cast some doubts on the notion that the dysbiosis characteristic of periodontal disease is expressed as increased microbial diversity.Palavras-chave
