Popis: The gastrointestinal microbiota consists of trillions of microorganisms that live symbiotically in the human body. The main factor influencing the formation of the gastrointestinal microbiota is lifestyle, particularly the diet of people from different geographic regions. As described in several reports, the gut microbiota composition of healthy adults can be stable for years. However, the relative abundance of each microbe fluctuates over time, and it varies between individuals and within individuals over the course of their lives depending on many factors such as diet and gender. The study aimed to define the basic profile of the oral and gut microbiota in healthy people of Polish ethnicity under the Western diet, showing the stability under one type of diet and dependence on gender. The study group included 144 healthy adults. The research materials were swabs and stool samples. The KomPAN questionnaire was used to examine eating habits. Bacterial 16S rRNA genes were sequenced using the next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology. The respondents followed a typical Western diet. There were no statistically significant differences in alpha species diversity in the oral and gut microbiota between the female and male groups. Statistically significant differences were found in the beta diversity between gut microbiota composition in women and men (p < 0.048). The oral microbiota was dominated by Firmicutes and Proteobacteria, and Firmicutes dominated the gut microbiota. According to the received results, it was found that in healthy adults of Polish origin, there is a basic profile of the oral and gut microbiota ensuring good health condition.
