Microbiota in adult perianal abscess revealed by metagenomic next-generation sequencing
The microbiota of perianal abscesses is scarcely investigated. Identifying causative bacteria is essential to develop antibiotic therapy. However, culture-based methods and molecular diagnostics through 16S PCR technology are often hampered by the polymicrobial nature of perianal abscesses. We sought to characterize the microbiota composition of perianal abscesses via metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS). Fourteen patients suffering from perianal abscesses between March 2023 and August 2023 underwent retrospective assessment. Information from medical records was used, including clinical information, laboratory data, and culture and mNGS results. Forty bacterial taxa were identified from perianal abscesses through mNGS, with Bilophila wadsworthia (71.4%), Bacteroides fragilis (57.1%), and Escherichia coli (50.0%) representing the most prevalent species. mNGS identified an increased number of bacterial taxa, with an average of 6.1 compared to a traditional culture-based method which only detected an average of 1.1 in culture-positive perianal abscess patients, predominantly E. coli (75.0%), revealing the polymicrobial nature of perianal abscesses. Our study demonstrates that a more diverse bacterial profile is detected by mNGS in perianal abscesses, and that Bilophila wadsworthia is the most prevalent microorganism, potentially serving as a potential biomarker for perianal abscess.IMPORTANCEAccurately, identifying the bacteria causing perianal abscesses is crucial for effective antibiotic therapy. However, traditional culture-based methods and 16S PCR technology often struggle with the polymicrobial nature of these abscesses. This study employed metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) to comprehensively analyze the microbiota composition. Results revealed 40 bacterial taxa, with Bilophila wadsworthia (71.4%), Bacteroides fragilis (57.1%), and Escherichia coli (50.0%) being the most prevalent species. Compared to the culture-based approach, mNGS detected a significantly higher number of bacterial taxa (average 6.1 vs 1.1), highlighting the complex nature of perianal abscesses. Notably, Bilophila wadsworthia emerged as a potential biomarker for these abscesses. This research emphasizes the importance of mNGS in understanding perianal abscesses and suggests its potential for improving diagnostic accuracy and guiding targeted antibiotic therapy in the future.
