The Microbiome: Definitions
• Microbiota: ecological community of commensal, symbiotic and pathogenic microorganisms
• The human microbiome (or human microbiota) is the collection of microorganisms which live on us. They live on the skin, in the saliva and mouth, in the eyes, and in the gut and the rest of the gastrointestinal tract.
• Relative number of human and bacterial cells in each of us• Humans are composed of ~ 37 trillion cells• We carry 100 trillion individual bacteria

What has Accounted for the Explosion of Knowledge about the Microbiome?
We could only identify what we could grow
Metagenomics
Slide 5 of 39
Technical advance: Inexpensive high-throughput shotgun sequencing
Deep sequencing/next generation sequencing
• Cost has decreased dramatically
• Number and length of reads improved
• Sequence communities or single cells
• Bioinformatics• Massive and cumulative data
basis allow analysis and cataloguing of sequences

Slide 8 of 39
New terminology
• Phylotype: Environmental DNA sequence or group of sequences sharing more than an arbitrarily chosen level of similarity based on a specific marker
• Most commonly based on rRNA gene
• Operational taxonomic unit (OTU)• Cluster of microorganisms grouped by >97% DNA
similarity (rRNA gene)• OTU=≠species

Slide 12 of 39
NIH Human Microbiome Project
• How many microbes on our body, spatio-temporal issues?
• How do they differ between site and/or between individuals?
• How do they change over time or in response to environmental changes?
• Is there a conserved “core” microbiome?
Slide 13 of 39
Methods
• 300 healthy subjects• 15 or 18 body sites• >11,000 primary specimens• 1,900 reference strains
Proctor, Cell Host Microbe (2011) 10, 287

The Microbiome of the Gut• Established in early life – differs in infants born by C-section vs. vaginal birth.• In murine models, transfer of “obese” microbiome affects the growth
characteristics of the mouse for life• Drastically altered acutely by antibiotic administration• In farm animals (and mice), antibiotic exposure early in life promotes
microbiota associated with high coloric efficiency. • There is some evidence that early exposure to antibiotics affects humans the
same way.• After cessation of antibiotics, the antibiotic “footprint” remains; e.g., the
microbiome reverts toward but does not reach pre-antibiotic richness/diversity.

Microbiome of the Gut: Four Major Phyla
• Firmicutes – gram positive organisms, including sporulating gram positive rods (ex: Staphylococcus, Micrococcus, Streptococcus and Lactobacillus)
• Bacteroidetes – three large classes of Gram-negative, non-spore forming, anaerobic or aerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (ex: Bacterioides)
• Actinobacteria – primarily gram positive bacteria (including those that are acid fast) (Ex: M. tuberculosis and Gardnerella)
• Proteobacteria – primarily gram negative rods (Ex: E coli, Salmonella)
Slide 21 of 39
• Controlled reconstitution of gut microbiome• Instill microbiota from different groups or pure cultures, feed
controlled diet

Microbiome Can Modulate Obesity
No change in daily caloric intake, body fat increased by 60% in 2 weeks and developed insulin resistance

Metlu, et. al, Plos Pathogens 2013
Colonic Microbiome in HIV-Infected Persons
• 56 samples from HIV-1 infected persons and 65 samples from 22 healthy controls undergoing elective colonoscopy (primarily for cancer screening)
• Age and sex-matched
• HIV-1 infected population• Mean CD4 cell count: 425 cells/mm3• VL <75 IU/mL in 17/21 participants

The Promaltia Study: Intermediary Biomarkers not Affected
• No differences in microbiome diversity at 48 weeks between treatment and placebo groups
• Some enrichment of unclassified bacteria from the Lachnospiraceae and Victivallaceae families and depletion of Blautia spp. in treatment group compared to placebo
• No differences in inflammatory markers between treatment and placebo groups

Increased Microbiome Diversity in Those Bacterial Vaginosis
Jespers, et. al., Sci Rep, 2017
Slide 39 of 39
Bacterial Vaginosis and the Vaginal Microbiome
Minimal DiversityLactobacillus Dominated
Healthy State Bacterial Vaginosis
Increased DiversityGardnerella dominated
Slide 40 of 39
The Healthy Vaginal Microbiome• Unlike in the gut, the healthy microbiome in the vagina is less diverse
and dominated by a single species: Lactobacilli• Lactobacilli are decreased in population with sexual intercourse (as
assessed by the presence of prostate specific antigen [PSA] in the sample.
• Lactobacilli are decreased in amenorrhoeic women while inflammatory mediators (IL-8, IL-12 and MIP-1b) are increased
• The presence of inflammatory mediators was also increased in the presence of PSA

Slide 57 of 39
The Human Microbiome: It is “Family”• Humans live in concert with an immense array of microbial organisms
from birth to death• The microbiome differs from body site to body site and from person to
person but is reasonably stable over time – unless it is disturbed by antibiotics
• Other environmental factors including food and those with whom we associate also have direct effects on the microbiome
• The microbiome influences gut metabolism, systemic immunity and susceptibility to disease
• The microbiome changes in health and disease – including HIV Infection• We are only now beginning to unravel carts and horses.
Slide 58 of 39
Can we Alter the Microbiome?• Yes….but with the elegance of a meat cleaver.• Antibiotics are the most dramatic way we affect the human
microbiome• Usually for the worse, e.g., C. difficile, Salmonella infection
• Other approaches• Probiotics• Prebiotics• Fecal transplantation• Bacteriophage therapy
