ABSTRACTThis study aimed at investigating the fecal microbiotas of children with celiac disease (CD) before (U-CD) and after (T-CD) they were fed a gluten-free diet and of healthy children (HC). Brothers or sisters of T-CD were enrolled as HC. Each group consisted of seven children. PCR-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) analysis with V3 universal primers revealed a unique profile for each fecal sample. PCR-DGGE analysis with group- or genus-specific 16S rRNA gene primers showed that theLactobacilluscommunity of U-CD changed significantly, while the diversity of theLactobacilluscommunity of T-CD was quite comparable to that of HC. Compared to HC, the ratio of cultivable lactic acid bacteria andBifidobacteriumtoBacteroidesand enterobacteria was lower in T-CD and even lower in U-CD. The percentages of strains identified as lactobacilli differed as follows: HC (ca. 38%) > T-CD (ca. 17%) > U-CD (ca. 10%).Lactobacillus brevis,Lactobacillus rossiae, andLactobacillus pentosuswere identified only in fecal samples from T-CD and HC.Lactobacillus fermentum,Lactobacillus delbrueckiisubsp.bulgaricus, andLactobacillus gasseriwere identified only in several fecal samples from HC. Compared to HC, the composition ofBifidobacteriumspecies of T-CD varied, and it varied even more for U-CD. Forty-seven volatile organic compounds (VOCs) belonging to different chemical classes were identified using gas-chromatography mass spectrometry-solid-phase microextraction analysis. The median concentrations varied markedly for HC, T-CD, and U-CD. Overall, ther2values for VOC data for brothers and sisters were equal to or lower than those for unrelated HC and T-CD. This study shows the effect of CD pathology on the fecal microbiotas of children.
