Disease states | Changes in microbiome |
GERD | Non-erosive reflux disease: A shift towards Proteobacteria (Neisseria oralis, Moraxella spp.) and Bacteroidetes (Bacteroides uniformis, Capnocytophaga spp., and Prevotella pallens); A shift away from Fusobacteria (Leptotrichia) and Actinobacteria (Rothia spp.); Increased abundance of Dorea spp. |
Reflux esophagitis: Decreased Firmicutes (Mogibacterium spp., Streptococcus infantis, Solobacterium moorei) and increased Fusobacteria (Leptotrichia spp.) and Proteobacteria (Marivita spp., Nisaea spp., Mesorhizobium spp.) | |
Barrett’s esophagus | Increased Fusobacteria, and Proteobacteria (Neisseria spp., and Campylobacter spp.); Decreased alpha diversity as well as Bacteroidetes and Prevotella |
Esophageal adenocarcinoma | Increased abundance of Proteobacteria and decreased Firmicutes; Relatively unchanged Streptococci abundance |
Eosinophilic esophagitis | Increased Proteobacteria (Neisseria and Haemophilus) and Corynebacterium; Decrease in Clostridia spp. |
