Abstrakt: Obesity is associated with altered gut microbiome composition but data across different populations remain inconsistent. We meta-analyzed publicly available 16S-rRNA sequence datasets from 18 different studies and identified differentially abundant taxa and functional pathways of the obese gut microbiome. Most differentially abundant genera ( Odoribacter , Oscillospira , Akkermansia, Alistipes , and Bacteroides ) were depleted in obesity, indicating a deficiency of commensal microbes in the obese gut microbiome. From microbiome functional pathways, elevated lipid biosynthesis and depleted carbohydrate and protein degradation suggested metabolic adaptation to high-fat, low-carbohydrate, and low-protein diets in obese individuals. Machine learning models trained on the 18 studies were modest in predicting obesity with a median AUC of 0.608 using 10-fold cross-validation. The median AUC increased to 0.771 when models were trained in eight studies designed for investigating obesity-microbiome association. By meta-analyzing obesity-associated microbiota signatures, we identified obesity-associated depleted taxa that may be exploited to mitigate obesity and related metabolic diseases.
