Journal Article
A cross-sectional comparative study of gut bacterial community of Indian and Finnish children
2017
Overview
The human gut microbiome plays a crucial role in the compositional development of gut microbiota. Though well documented in western pediatrics population, little is known about how various host conditions affect populations in different geographic locations such as the Indian subcontinent. Given the impact of distinct environmental conditions, our study assess the gut bacterial diversity of a small cohort of Indian and Finnish children and investigated the influence of
FUT2
secretor status and birth mode on the gut microbiome of these populations. Using multiple profiling techniques, we show that the gut bacterial community structure in 13–14-year-old Indian (n = 47) and Finnish (n = 52) children differs significantly. Specifically, Finnish children possessed higher
Blautia
and
Bifidobacterium
, while genera
Prevotella
and
Megasphaera
were predominant in Indian children. Our study also demonstrates a strong influence of
FUT2
and birth mode variants on specific gut bacterial taxa, influence of which was noticed to differ between the two populations under study.
