ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the influences of antibiotic-induced gut microbiota dysbiosis on Mycoplasma pneumoniae (Mp) airway infection. Methods C57BL/6J mice were treated with vancomy-cin and gentamicin for 21 d by oral delivery and then intranasally infected with Mp. Quantitative real-time PCR ( qPCR) was performed to detect five major phyla of gut microbiota in mouse fecal specimens before and after antibiotic treatment and the loads of Mp in lung tissues on 3 d and 7 d after infection. Pathological changes in lung tissues were evaluated with HE staining. IFN-γ and IL-4 secreted by spleen CD4+ T cells and CD8+ T cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. Mp-specific IgM and IgG in mouse serum samples were measured by indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results Vancomycin and gentamicin treatment significantly reduced the number of Bacteroidetes in mouse feces, but increased the amount of Fir-micutes. Meanwhile, the numbers of δ, γ-Proteobacteria, Actinomycetes and Tenericutes also changed. These antibiotic-induced gut microbiota alterations in mice with Mp infection increased the loads of Mp in lung tissues and the pathological scores of lung tissue inflammation on 3 d and 7 d after infection, and re-duced the number of IFN-γ-secreting spleen CD4+T lymphocytes on 7 d. Conclusions Antibiotic-induced gut microbiota dysbiosis aggravated Mp airway infection.
