- Abstract
Although gut microbiome dysbiosis has been associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), the relationship between the oral microbiota and IBD remains poorly understood. This study aimed to identify unique microbiome patterns in saliva from IBD patients and explore potential oral microbial markers for differentiating Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). A prospective cohort study recruited IBD patients (UC: n = 175, CD: n = 127) and healthy controls (HC: n = 100) to analyze their oral microbiota using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Machine learning models (sparse partial least squares discriminant analysis (sPLS-DA)) were trained with the sequencing data to classify CD and UC. Taxonomic classification resulted in 4041 phylotypes using Kraken2 and the SILVA reference database. After quality filtering, 398 samples (UC: n = 175, CD: n = 124, HC: n = 99) and 2711 phylotypes were included. Alpha diversity analysis revealed significantly reduced richness in the microbiome of IBD patients compared to healthy controls. The sPLS-DA model achieved high accuracy (mean accuracy: 0.908, and AUC: 0.966) in distinguishing IBD vs. HC, as well as good accuracy (0.846) and AUC (0.923) in differentiating CD vs. UC. These findings highlight distinct oral microbiome patterns in IBD and provide insights into potential diagnostic markers.
