We observed that short-term 44 antibiotic treatment shifted and diversified the resistome composition, increased the 45 average copy number of antibiotic resistance genes, and altered the dominant strain 46 genotypes in an individual-specific manner. More than 30% of the resistance genes 47 underwent strong differentiation at the single nucleotide level during antibiotic 48 treatment. We found that the increased potential for horizontal gene transfer, due to 49 antibiotic administration, was ~3-fold stronger in the differentiated resistance genes 50 than the non-differentiated ones. This study highlights how antibiotic treatment has 51 individualized impacts on the resistome and strain level composition, and drives the 52 adaptive evolution of the gut microbiota. 53 54 Keywords: Antibiotics; Resistome; Gut microbiome; Strain; Evolution; Horizontal 55 gene transfer 56 57 58 59 60 2 bioRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/537670; this version posted February 1, 2019.

About 1,000 prevalent bacterial species 64 colonize the human gastrointestinal tract, playing a pivotal role in health and disease 65 of the host. Besides influencing physiology of the digestive tract, the gut microbiota 66 also affects development, immunity, and metabolism of the host [1]. External forces, 67 including antibiotic treatment or dietary intake, shape the composition of the gut 68 microbiota with the potential for rapid changes, thereby affecting the microbe-host 69 homeostasis [2,3]. 70 Antibiotics have been widely used since the Second World War resulting in 71 dramatic benefits to public health [4]. However, the rapid increase of antibiotic 72 resistance (AR) has become an escalating worldwide issue [5]. Antibiotic-resistant 73 pathogens lead to treatment failure and contribute to increasing morbidity, mortality, 74 and healthcare costs. Over 70% of bacteria causing hospital-acquired infections have 75 antibiotic resistance towards at least one common antibiotic for treatment [6]. 76 Previous metagenomic studies have revealed the influence of antibiotic administration 77 on the gut microbiota in various ways, including 1) altering the global taxonomic and 78 functional composition or the diversity of the gut microbiota [7–11] 2) increasing the 79 abundance of bacteria resistant to the administered antibiotic [12] 3) expanding the 80 reservoir of resistance genes (resistome) [13] or 4) increasing the load of particular 81 antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) [11,14]. The disruptive effects of antibiotic 82 treatment on gut microbiota can be transient or long-lasting [15]. Nevertheless, there 83 is a paucity of information about how the resistome structure shifts and how the 84 genotype of ARGs evolve and differentiate when the microbiome is challenged with 85 antibiotics. In addition, how antibiotic exposure influences strain-level variation 86 within the gut microbiome remains poorly understood. 87 Antibiotic resistance can be acquired through point mutations (de novo evolution) 88 or horizontal gene transfer (HGT) [16]. De novo resistance mutations can modify the 89 antibiotic cellular targets or alter the expression of antibiotic resistance genes and 90 therefore alter the resistance levels of the bacterial strain harboring them [17]. Unlike 91 de novo resistance mutations, horizontal gene transfer allows bacteria to adapt more 92 rapidly to an environment containing antibiotics [16]. Furthermore, the 93 gastrointestinal tract, densely populated with bacteria, enables the gut microbiota to 3 bioRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/537670; this version posted February 1, 2019.

The exchange of ARGs has been 96 documented to occur in the human gut between strains carrying vancomycin and 97 sulfonamide resistance genes in Enterococcus faecium and Escherichia coli, 98 respectively [21,22]. Recently, the in situ HGT of ARGs in the infant gut was 99 described [23]. However, factors triggering the HGT of ARGs in the human gut 100 remains insufficiently explored. Therefore, systems level investigations are needed to 101 determine whether antibiotic administration alters the dissemination potential of 102 ARGs, and more importantly, which factors are associated with the altered 103 dissemination potential of ARGs in the human gut. 104 In this study, we first analyzed public metagenomic data from a longitudinal study 105 of 18 cefprozil treated and 6 control volunteers [12]. We surveyed the strain-level 106 dynamics, shift of the resistome structure, evolution of resistance genes at the single 107 nucleotide level, and factors associated with the variation of dissemination potential. 108 In this first stage of in silico analysis we demonstrated the diversification of the 109 resistome and in situ evolution of strains upon antibiotic intake. We then performed 110 an in-depth prospective and functional study on longitudinal samples from one 111 cefuroxime treated and one control subject using both culture-dependent and culture- 112 independent approaches. 113 114 Results 115 Antibiotic treatment diversifies the resistome composition and increases the copy 116 number of ARGs at the intraspecies level 117 We analyzed public metagenomic data from a longitudinal study of 18 cefprozil 118 treated and 6 healthy control volunteers [12] (each subject was sampled at day 0, 7, 119 and 90) that aimed to investigate whether the initial taxonomic composition of the gut 120 microbiota is associated with the reshaped post-antibiotic microbiota. Using this data 121 we investigated the dynamics and diversification of the resistome, strain-level 122 selection, variation of the dissemination potential of antibiotic resistance, and the 123 single-nucleotide level differentiation under antibiotic treatment. 124 To evaluate to what extent the composition of the resistome was altered in 4 bioRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/537670; this version posted February 1, 2019.

An NMDS plot based on the Jaccard distance of 127 ARGs presence/absence profile of each sample revealed that the resistome 128 composition was more drastically altered in the antibiotic treated group than the 129 control group during treatment (Figure 1A). The compositional distances between 130 baseline and treatment samples within the same treated individual were significantly 131 larger than those in the control group (0.14 vs. 0.06 on average, P value < 0.01 with 132 Wilcoxon rank-sum test, Figure 1A).

We examine how gut bacteria possess their own daily rhythmicity in terms of composition, their localization to intestinal niches, and functions. We review evidence that gut bacteria modulate host rhythms via microbial metabolites such as butyrate, polyphenolic derivatives, vitamins, and amines. Lifestyle stressors such as altered sleep and eating patterns that may disturb the host circadian system also influence the gut microbiome. The consequent disruptions to microbiota-mediated functions such as decreased conjugation of bile acids or increased production of hydrogen sulfide and the resultant decreased production of butyrate, in turn affect substrate oxidation and energy regulation in the host.

Their isolation, cultivation and correct identification differs significantly from the workup of aerobic species, although the use of new technologies (e.g., matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry, whole genome sequencing) changed anaerobic diagnostics dramatically. In the past, antimicrobial susceptibility of these microorganisms showed predictable patterns and empirical therapy could be safely administered but recently a steady and clear increase in the resistance for several important drugs (β-lactams, clindamycin) has been observed worldwide.

NAFLD is principally characterized by an excessive fat accumulation in the hepatocytes. Diet is considered as one of the main drivers to modulate the composition of gut microbiota, which participate in different processes, affecting human metabolism. A disruption in the homeostasis of gut microbiota may lead to dysbiosis, which is commonly reflected by a reduction of the beneficial species and an increment in pathogenic microbiota. Gut and liver are in close relation due to the anatomical and functional interactions led by the portal vein, thus altered intestinal microbiota might affect liver functions, promoting inflammation, insulin resistance and steatosis, which is translated into NAFLD. This review will highlight the association between diet, gut microbiota and liver, and how this axis may promote the development of NAFLD progression, discussing potential mechanisms and alterations due to the dysbiosis of gut microbiota. Finally, it will revise the variations in gut microbiota composition in NAFLD, and it will focus in specific species, which directly affect NAFLD progression.

While substantially proven for healthy individuals, these effects are more ambiguous in subjects with intestinal diseases. At the same time, a diet low in these fermentable carbohydrates, the low FODMAP (acronym for Fermentable Oligo-, Di-, Mono-saccharides, And Polyols) diet, is gaining popularity as a treatment option for symptom relief in irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease. There are, however, several indications that this diet induces effects opposite to those of prebiotic supplementation, resulting in gut microbiome changes that might be detrimental. Here, we provide a systematic review of the effects of low and high FODMAP diets on human gastrointestinal microbiota composition in adults with intestinal diseases, through literature screening using the databases PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science. We summarize study findings on dietary impact in patients, including the effect on bacterial taxa and diversity.

Singh1, Hsin‑Wen Chang2, Di Yan2, Kristina M. Lee2, Derya Ucmak2, Kirsten Wong2, Michael Abrouk3, Benjamin Farahnik4, Mio Nakamura2, Tian Hao Zhu5, Tina Bhutani2 and Wilson Liao2* Abstract Recent studies have suggested that the intestinal microbiome plays an important role in modulating risk of several chronic diseases, including infammatory bowel disease, obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. At the same time, it is now understood that diet plays a signifcant role in shaping the microbiome, with experiments showing that dietary alterations can induce large, temporary microbial shifts within 24 h. Given this association, there may be signifcant therapeutic utility in altering microbial composition through diet. This review systematically evaluates current data regarding the efects of several common dietary components on intestinal microbiota. We show that consumption of particular types of food produces predictable shifts in existing host bacterial genera. Fur‑ thermore, the identity of these bacteria afects host immune and metabolic parameters, with broad implications for human health. Familiarity with these associations will be of tremendous use to the practitioner as well as the patient.
