Haemophilus-Dominant Nasopharyngeal Microbiota Is Associated With Delayed Clearance of Respiratory Syncytial Virus in Infants Hospitalized for Bronchiolitis.

ABSTRACT: The relation of nasopharyngeal microbiota to the clearance of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in infants hospitalized for bronchiolitis is not known. In a multicenter cohort, we found that 106 of 557 infants (19%) hospitalized with RSV bronchiolitis had the same RSV subtype 3 weeks later (ie, delayed clearance of RSV). Using 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing and a clustering approach, infants with a Haemophilus-dominant microbiota profile at hospitalization were more likely than those with a mixed profile to have delayed clearance, after adjustment for 11 factors, including viral load. Nasopharyngeal microbiota composition is associated with delayed RSV clearance.

Project description:Bronchiolitis due to respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) or non-RSV agents is a health-menacing lower respiratory tract (LRT) disease of infants. Whereas RSV causes more severe disease than other viral agents may, genus-dominant fecal microbiota profiles have been identified in US hospitalized infants with bronchiolitis. We investigated the fecal microbiota composition of infants admitted to an Italian hospital with acute RSV (25/37 [67.6%]; group I) or non-RSV (12/37 [32.4%]; group II) bronchiolitis, and the relationship of fecal microbiota characteristics with the clinical characteristics of infants. Group I and group II infants differed significantly (24/25 [96.0%] versus 5/12 [41.7%]; P = 0.001) regarding 90% oxygen saturation (SpO2), which is an increased respiratory effort hallmark. Accordingly, impaired feeding in infants from group I was significantly more frequent than in infants from group II (19/25 [76.0%] versus 4/12 [33.3%]; P = 0.04). Conversely, the median (IQR) length of stay was not significantly different between the two groups (seven [3-14] for group I versus five [5-10] for group II; P = 0.11). The 16S ribosomal RNA V3-V4 region amplification of infants' fecal samples resulted in 299 annotated amplicon sequence variants. Based on alpha- and beta-diversity microbiota downstream analyses, group I and group II infants had similar bacterial communities in their samples. Additionally, comparing infants having <90% SpO2 (n = 29) with infants having ≥90% SpO2 (n = 8) showed that well-known dominant genera (Bacteroides, Bifidobacterium, Escherichia/Shigella, and Enterobacter/Veillonella) were differently, but not significantly (P = 0.44, P = 0.71, P = 0.98, and P = 0.41, respectively) abundant between the two subgroups. Overall, we showed that, regardless of RSV or non-RSV bronchiolitis etiology, no fecal microbiota-composing bacteria could be associated with the severity of acute bronchiolitis in infants. Larger and longitudinally conducted studies will be necessary to confirm these findings.
