Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) significantly alters the gut microbiome and may be a mechanism for post-operative cardiovascular disease improvement. We have previously found an association between the class of peri-operative, intravenous antibiotic administered at the time of RYGB and the resolution rate of hypertension suggesting the gut microbiome as a mechanism. In this study, we performed a prospective study of RYGB to determine if a single intravenous antibiotic could alter the gastrointestinal microbial composition. METHODS: Patients undergoing RYGB were randomized to a single, peri-operative antibiotic of intravenous cefazolin (n = 8) or clindamycin (n = 8). Stool samples were collected from four-time points: 2 weeks pre-op (- 2w), 2 days pre-op (- 2d), 2 weeks post-op (+ 2w) and 3 months post-op (+ 3m). Stool samples were processed for genomic DNA followed by Illumina 16S rRNA gene sequencing and shotgun metagenomic sequencing (MGS). RESULTS: A total of 60 stool samples (- 2w, n = 16; - 2d, n = 15; + 2w, n = 16; + 3m, n = 13) from 16 patients were analyzed. 87.5% of patients were female with an average age of 48.6 ± 12.2 years and pre-operative BMI of 50.9 ± 23.3 kg/m2. RYGB induced statistically significant differences in alpha and beta diversity. There were statistically significant differences in alpha diversity at + 2w and beta diversity at + 3m due to antibiotic treatment. MGS revealed significantly distinct gut microbiota with 11 discriminatory metagenomic assembled genomes driven by antibiotic treatment at 3 months post-op, including increased Bifidobacterium spp. with clindamycin. CONCLUSION: RYGB induces significant changes in the gut microbiome at 2 weeks that are maintained 3 months after surgery. However, the single peri-operative dose of antibiotic administered at the time of RYGB induces unique and persisting changes to the gut microbiome that are antibiotic-specific. Increased Bifidobacterium spp. with clindamycin administration may improve the metabolic efficacy of RYGB when considering gut-microbiome driven mechanisms for blood pressure resolution.
