Key Words Gallstones; Bile microbiota; 16S rRNA sequencing; Diversity analysis; Genus identification
Core Tip This retrospective study analyzed bile microbiota composition in 40 patients. Results demonstrated that samples from gallstone patients exhibited significantly reduced overall microbial diversity alongside a striking dominance of Proteobacteria. In contrast, bile samples from gallstone-free individuals showed relative enrichment in health-associated genera, including protective taxa like Lactobacillus. The findings indicate that dysbiosis within the bile microbiome, particularly the overgrowth of Proteobacteria, actively drives gallstone pathogenesis. This suggests that modulating the bile microbiota represents a promising novel therapeutic avenue for gallstone prevention or treatment through targeted interventions.
