Abstract

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in patients from Spain is associated with intestinal dysbiosis. This study explores whether the alteration of the gut microbiome in SLE patients from China is consistent with the intestinal dysbiosis of SLE patients from Spain. The depletion of Firmicutes and the enrichment of Bacteroidetes in SLE patients from China were consistent with the SLE patients from Spain. Furthermore, we found that nine genera of gut microbiota were SLE-related microorganisms in Chinese subjects. Genera Rhodococcus, Eggerthella, Klebsiella, Prevotella, Eubacterium, Flavonifractor and Incertae sedis were significantly enriched, while genera Dialister and Pseudobutyrivibrio were significantly depleted in SLE patients. Receiver operating characteristic analysis indicated that the nine genera have the potential to distinguish SLE patients from healthy controls. Comparing the dysbiosis of the gut microbiome among SLE patients from China or Spain, may indicate that the gut microbiome profiles of SLE patients are more influenced by disease than ethnicity.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 9. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 03 July 2017.
All research outputs
#3,687,999
of 22,908,162 outputs
Outputs from Gut Pathogens
#89
of 524 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#72,455
of 419,640 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Gut Pathogens
#2
of 17 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,908,162 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 83rd percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 524 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.8. This one has done well, scoring higher than 82% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 419,640 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 82% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 17 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 88% of its contemporaries.
