Role of bacteria in the pathogenesis of short bowel syndrome-associated D-lactic acidemia

Microbial Pathogenesis
Ger P A BongaertsJ L Willems

Abstract

Previously, we have demonstrated that short bowel syndrome (SBS) patients suffer daily from D-lactic acidemia; in these patients rather high amounts of (bacterial) D-lactate emerge in blood and urine with a circadian rhythm. The aim of this study was to establish the microbial basis of D-lactic acidemia in SBS. Therefore, faecal flora of (young and adult) SBS-patients was analysed qualitatively and quantitatively, and compared to that of controls. The isolated bacterial species were screened for massive D- and/or L-lactate production after in vitro growth. After introduction of oral feeding in SBS-infants shortly after the resection, lactobacilli increased from < or = 1% up to 60 +/- 5% of the faecal flora within 2-3 weeks. In the faeces of patients with oral feeding the lactate producers Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus fermentum were the major resident bacteria (each with 10(10)-10(12) cfu/g faeces). During active growth in vitro these lactobacilli produced massive amounts of D- and L-lactic acid from glucose. Use of oral antibiotics in two SBS-children did not reduce the total numbers of lactobacilli, but caused shifts within the intestinal populations of at least lactobacilli. It is concluded that the strongly re...Continue Reading
