Recent research has revealed the importance of the appendix in regulating the intestinal microbiota and mucosal immunity. However, the changes that occur in human gut microbial communities after appendectomy have never been analyzed. We assessed the alterations in gut bacterial and fungal populations associated with a history of appendectomy. In this cross-sectional study, we investigated the association between appendectomy and the gut microbiome using 16S and ITS2 sequencing on fecal samples from 30 healthy individuals with prior appendectomy (HwA) and 30 healthy individuals without appendectomy (HwoA). Analysis showed that the gut bacterial composition of samples from HwA was less diverse than that of samples from HwoA and had a lower abundance of

阑尾切除术与人类肠道细菌和真菌群落的改变有关
最近的研究揭示了阑尾在调节肠道微生物群和粘膜免疫方面的重要性。然而,从未分析过阑尾切除术后人类肠道微生物群落发生的变化。我们评估了与阑尾切除术相关的肠道细菌和真菌种群的变化。在这项横断面研究中,我们使用 16S 和 ITS2 测序对来自 30 名既往接受过阑尾切除术 (HwA) 的健康个体和 30 名未接受过阑尾切除术 (HwoA) 的健康个体的粪便样本进行了研究,研究了阑尾切除术与肠道微生物组之间的关联。分析表明,来自 HwA 的样本的肠道细菌组成不像来自 HwoA 的样本那么多样化,并且具有较低的丰度
