Intestinal microecological dysbiosis during HIV infection.

GroupsAlterationsReference

BacteriomePrevotella increased; Bacteroides, Akkermansia, Anaerovibrio, Bifidobacterium, and Clostridium decreased in patients with HIV[7, 28, 29]
Haemophilus and Veillonella were enriched in patients recently infected with HIV-1 in their first 6 months[28]
Faecalibacterium and Coprococcus levels decreased in immunological ART responders compared with ART non-responders[7]
Desulfovibrionaceae and enterobacteriaceae were upregulated in HIV-infected individuals, lachnospiraceae and ruminococcaceae were downregulated[3, 3032]
Bifidobacterium, Collinsella, Faecalibacterium, Oscillospira, and Roseburia levels decreased, whereas Escherichia was upregulated in HIV-infected patients[33]

MycobiomeDebaryomyceshansenii, Candida albicans, Candida tropicalis, and Candida parapsilosis were the most abundant taxa in patients with HIV[34, 35]
Candida spp. are more prevalent in HIV-infected individuals with diarrhea and recent antibiotic treatment[36]
Aspergillus was the most abundant genus (49.92%) in the HIV-infected group[37]

ViromeHIV infection increase the abundance of adenoviruses[3]
Adenoviridae and Anelloviridae are significantly enriched in HIV-1-infected patients with CD4+ T cell less than 200 cells/mL[38]

MetabolomeHIV infection decreases intestinal SCFA levels[39]
WG and VQ dipeptide levels were significantly higher in the HIV elite controllers[40]
Bile acids and bioactive lipids increased; vitamin D, terpenoids, and resolvin D1 decreased in the feces of HIV-infected patients with cognitive impairment[41]
