This study aims to characterize microbial signatures associated with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) for potential biomarker discovery and improved early detection.
Employed 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing on 226 biospecimens (111 PDAC, 115 control)
Assessed microbial diversity, taxonomic composition, and prevalence across mouth, stomach, duodenum, bile, and pancreas
Evaluated differences in microbial profiles and abundance between PDAC and control cohorts.
Higher microbial diversity in PDAC cohort, notably in stomach, duodenum, and bile
PDAC cohort had unique low-abundance taxa and distinct site-specific microbial profiles
Enrichment of genera such as Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter, and Corynebacterium linked to immune modulation and inflammation.
