BACKGROUND: and study aims: Gastrointestinal microbiota are closely related to the pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis (UC). This study aimed at quantification of F. prausnitzii, Provetella, and Peptostreptococcus in UC and non-UC patients using Real-Time PCR and a new set of primers were also validated for this purpose.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this study, the relative abundance of microbial populations between the UC and non-UC subjects were evaluated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). DNA extraction from biopsies and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of bacterial 16S rRNA gene-targeted species-specific primers was performed to detect the anaerobic bacterial species. The qRT-PCR was used to show the relative change in the bacterial populations of F. prausnitzii, Provetella, and Peptostreptococcus in the UC and non-UC subjects.

RESULTS: Our data for detection of the anaerobic intestinal flora showed Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, Provetella and Peptostreptococcus were the predominant microflora in the controls and showed significant differences (p = 0.002, 0.025 and 0.039, respectively). The qRT-PCR analyses of F. prausnitzii, Provetella and Peptostreptococcus were 8.69-, 9.38- and 5.77-higher, respectively, in the control group than in the UC group.

CONCLUSION: The results of this study showed decreased abundance of F. prausnitzii, Provetella and Peptostreptococcus in the intestine of UC patients in comparison to non-UC patients. Quantitative RT-PCR, as a progressive and sensitive method, could be useful for evaluation of bacterial populations in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases to attain appropriate therapeutic strategies.
