Abstract:

Objective To analyze the characteristic of blood microbiota in patients with sepsis after operation. Methods The sequencing data of microbial cell-free DNA(cfDNA) from plasma of 239 postoperative sepsis patients(SP)(SP group) and 34 postoperative patients without SP [control patients(CP)(CP group)] were downloaded from SRA-NCBI databases and reanalyzed by bioinformatics. Results The blood microbiota in SP group showed a decreased microbial diversity compared with CP group,which mainly enriched in 12 taxa. The most representative taxa which were increased in SP group,with higher relative abundance,included Stenotrophomonas maltophiliaRhodococcus erythropolisAcidovorax sp. KKS102,Ralstonia pickettiiEnterococcus faecium and human beta herpes virus 5. Conclusions The composition of blood microbiota is altered in SP group compared with CP group,and the 6 representative taxa may play roles in the development of SP.
