Differences in the composition of the gut microbial community have been associated with diseases such as obesity, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis and colorectal cancer (CRC). We used 454 titanium pyrosequencing of the V1-V2 region of the 16S rRNA gene to characterize adherent bacterial communities in mucosal biopsy samples from 33 subjects with adenomas and 38 subjects without adenomas (controls). Biopsy samples from subjects with adenomas had greater numbers of bacteria from 87 taxa than controls; only 5 taxa were more abundant in control samples. The magnitude of the differences in the distal gut microbiota between patients with adenomas and controls was more pronounced than that of any other clinical parameters including obesity, diet or family history of CRC. This suggests that sequence analysis of the microbiota could be used to identify patients at risk for developing adenomas.

Body site Anatomical site where microbial samples were extracted from according to the Uber Anatomy Ontology: Colorectal mucosa Colorectal mucosa,colorectal mucosa

Condition The experimental condition / phenotype studied according to the Experimental Factor Ontology: Colorectal adenoma adenoma of large bowel,adenoma of large intestine,adenoma of the large bowel,adenoma of the large intestine,colorectal adenoma,colorectum adenoma,large bowel adenoma,large intestine adenoma,Colorectal adenoma

Group 0 name Corresponds to the control (unexposed) group for case-control studies: Adenoma-free (controls)

Group 1 name Corresponds to the case (exposed) group for case-control studies: Adenoma patients (cases)

Group 1 definition Diagnostic criteria applied to define the specific condition / phenotype represented in the case (exposed) group: Patients who have colorectal adenoma

Group 0 sample size Number of subjects in the control (unexposed) group: 38

Group 1 sample size Number of subjects in the case (exposed) group: 33

Antibiotics exclusion Number of days without antibiotics usage (if applicable) and other antibiotics-related criteria used to exclude participants (if any): Subjects were asked if they used antibiotics in the last 3 months before colonoscopy. In all, 33 subjects (11 controls and 22 cases) answered the question. Among these subjects, one case subject (4.55%) and one control subject (9.09%) reported antibiotics use.
