ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT

Background:

Investigation of the gut-specific bacterial strains including lactobacilli is essential for understanding the bacterial etiology of constipation.

Objective:

This study aimed to compare the prevalence and quantity of intestinal lactobacilli in constipated children and healthy controls.

Methods:

Forty children fulfilling Rome IV criteria for functional constipation and 40 healthy controls were recruited. Fecal samples were analyzed using species-specific polymerase chain reaction followed by random amplified polymorphic DNA-PCR and quantitative real-time PCR.

Results:

Totally, seven different species of lactobacilli were detected. Out of 80 volunteers, 65 (81.3%) were culture and species-specific PCR positive from which 25 (38.46%) constipated children and 40 (61.54%) healthy subjects. The most prevalent species were L. paracasei 21 (32.3%) followed by L. plantarum 18 (27.7%) among both healthy and patient groups. Analysis of the RAPD dendrograms displayed that strains isolated from constipated and non-constipated children have similarity coefficients of more than 90%. The qPCR assays demonstrated constipated children had a lower amount of total lactobacilli population (per gram of feces) than healthy controls.

Conclusion:

Our findings showed that the mere existence of various species of Lactobacillus in the gut does not enough to prevent some gastrointestinal disorders such as functional constipation, and their quantity plays a more important role.
RESUMO
RESUMO

Contexto:

A investigação das cepas bacterianas específicas do intestino, incluindo lactobacilos, é essencial para a compreensão da etiologia bacteriana da prisão de ventre.

Objetivo:

Este estudo teve como objetivo comparar a prevalência e a quantidade de lactobacilos intestinais em crianças constipadas e controles saudáveis.

Métodos:

Foram recrutadas quarenta crianças que preenchem os critérios de Roma IV para prisão de ventre funcional e 40 controles saudáveis. As amostras fecais foram analisadas utilizando-se uma reação da cadeia de polimerase específica da espécie, seguida por DNA polimórfico amplificado aleatório e PCR quantitativo em tempo real.

Resultados:

Foram detectadas sete espécies diferentes de lactobacilos. Dos 80 voluntários, 65 (81,3%) eram cultura em PCR específico de espécies, dos quais 25 (38,46%) crianças constipadas e 40 (61,54%) indivíduos saudáveis. As espécies mais prevalentes foram L. paracasei 21 (32,3%) seguidas por L. plantarum 18 (27,7%) entre grupos saudáveis e de pacientes. A análise dos dendrogramas do RAPD mostrou que cepas isoladas de crianças constipadas e não constipadas têm coeficientes de similaridade superiores a 90%. Os ensaios qPCR demonstraram que as crianças constipadas apresentavam uma quantidade menor de população total de lactobacilos (por grama de fezes) do que os controles saudáveis.

Conclusão:

Nossos achados mostraram que a mera existência de várias espécies de Lactobacillus no intestino não é suficiente para prevenir alguns distúrbios gastrointestinais, como a prisão de ventre funcional, e sua quantidade desempenha um papel mais importante.
